Does anyone feel like they work with good leaders or role models in product management? And generally enjoy working where you do? If so, where is it that you work?? 😊 I’ve tried so hard to stay positive and just focus on my job, but after 6 years in product I feel like my growth has really been stalled without some solid leadership around.

You’re probably better served finding some good product management podcasts and blogs, and trying to implement some best practices in your own org. Marty Cagan, Lenny Ratchitsky, Shreyas Doshi, etc…

This is great advice thanks, hoping it makes me a better PM as well

There's a massive gap in product leader talent. When you do have the privilege of working with a real one, you'll immediately know it.

Honestly, it depends on the company too. I've worked with great leaders who were let go for one reason or another and in their place, they hire someone who doesn't actually know what product management is.

In other words, even when you do get a great product leader, they're not always appreciated, valued or trusted at the higher levels of the company, which will severely hinder their (and your) impact.

Where are you struggling to make progress? I've found that often, you just need to do best product practices and show the results. It's really difficult to explain the value levers product can and should add to the company to other people. They need to just see it in a way they can understand

Yes! I’m fortunate to have worked for 2 founders at a company. When they left, they became my mentors.

And now I’ve found my way back to working for one of them again. Haven’t worked this hard in YEARS but worth it.

PM2 has hit the nail. When you find one, you know it. Otherwise you die a bit inside everyday coasting.

Where’s the stall? Getting your ideas across? Having leadership see your value? Something else?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
