Ever start a new role and realize the biggest challenge isn’t the work—it’s decoding the org?
Who owns what, which priorities are real, and what’s unsaid in every meeting.
We talk a lot about onboarding, but not enough about orientation.
What’s helped you cut through the fog and find your footing fast?

I agree. Going from working in the hospital system w no union, and into the K-12 education system, w a union was SO different. Not the work but all the unwritten rules, informal talks, back table deals, personalities etc.

It’s a big pro union district so yes, it seems to be quite effective.

Looking for suggestions please

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
