Reforge was great. But it’s $2000. Can you get reimbursed by company?

2k is a bit steep and no they won't

I liked section4 classes, they’ve been great and much cheaper.

reading Inspired by Marty Cagan and Continuous Discovery Habits by Teresa Torres will give you the best ROI

Echoing these two book recommendations. I also love podcasts (Lenny and Melissa Perri) and YouTube is a good resource for talks by product leaders.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager.

I can do some python and SQL but mostly for data Analytics (Pandas and Numpy libraries for instance). I can also deal with HTML and CSS for website development but I would say I am a noob at this point.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
