For PMs who made the jump from mid-level to senior, what actually changed in how you worked? I thought it’d be more strategic, but it’s mostly more meetings and more pressure to “influence without authority.” What helped you grow into the senior mindset?

Showing up to meetings prepared for most questions instead of saying “I’ll have to get back to you on that.”

Having examples ready from competitors / similar workflows in other industries to show forward thinking and consistency around how users typically behave.

Being able to explain the “why” behind decisions in a way that people can easily digest and rarely have questions about.

A lot of these are just subtle changes to behavior, but I can sniff out the actual seniority of a fellow PM in a matter of minutes in most meetings despite their title.
