Hey Product Managers, how much of your time do you spend running the day to day operations of a Scrum team of Engineers. Why ? Don't your Program Managers or Project Ma agers own that?

I joined LTI last week. My persona is Work Office. I hadn't received laptop or project details yet. Do I need to go to office daily or weekly twice? Can I change the Persona to Work from home or Hybrid for few month till I get into project? Anyone share your experiences related on this .

I’m torn. I just got a nice offer at MSFT. A good 30% bump and much better WLB. I’m married with toddler. Current firm I’m a rising star. Likely to get promoted /w same TC. Huge executive presence. Helped firm to win partner tech awards. I was recognized individually as well. What prompted to look was I’m sick of client delivery. It would be nice to be on the other side and coast but I’m scared I’m leaving too much on the table at current firm. Current pace I’m mentally exhausted and not happy.

Contemplating taking a long-term personal leave.

Eight years in.

Burnt out.

The client work will always be there. My sanity won’t.

Any advice from those who have taken personal leave before?

How do you all make sure you are delivering value and moving the needle on each and every client call? Or is that a pipe dream? :)

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?

What are some common pitfalls of adopting non-enterprise software? (Beyond standard security/scalability/reliability/etc.) Client seems intent on going for a solution that may backfire in the long run and cannot seem to get the message across.

What’s the best way to leave a job and not burn any bridges? Both at your firm and client

How does one get the hell out of agency production? I’m five years into this biz. Its chaotic as hell, and never stops. Anyone made the jump to client side or in house production? Was it any less chaotic?

Any and all advice is welcome. Trying to figure out my next move. 😬

Hello! After 8 yrs in med devices, I left to start my own CPG company. I've been doing that for 3 years now but everything I've made has gone back into the business. For the past 6 months I've been trying to find a job because my husbands salary can't support the family and I've been struggling to find something. We have until the end of the month before we need to start making drastic changes so I'm reaching out for help. Does anyone know any open positions for product or project managers?

If I put a TVC in my book (as an art director), what are the general assumptions of my role in the project? Are art directors usually supposed to handle set design and stuff in addition to concepting it? Should I be specific in my book as to what parts I did or didn’t do or leave that to when people ask in interviews?

Do you think there'll be another streaming platform that will overtake Netflix in the future? Personally I like how Netflix exists worldwide, I know very few other platforms that are accessible to people all over.

Best pot roast sides... Go!

Looks like B4 partners makes the most $$ in the long run, even tech/FAANG or industry level senior roles doesn’t pay more then $600-700k, except a few roles like ceo/IB/PE/other financial roles/startup rsu (of u r lucky). Came to the conclusion after reading all the posts in this and other bowls. May be MBB, but if u add pensions, I think B4 is better. Thoughts?

Anyone else feel stuck in this profession by student loans? I would love to shift to something else, but nothing else I am remotely qualified to do pays enough to pay off my still 6 figures student loans on the same time line.

Are there any networking women groups in Atlanta? I just moved here and looking to connect with folks.

Stop shaming people for leaving on time. Working overtime every nite benefits no one if you’re exhausted. It’s not a badge of honor either. Work on your time management skills.

What are our thoughts on The L Word, Gen Q?

Hey Fishes,

Does anybody knows about the BOLD company? What kind of work culture does this company have?
Any recommendations?

As a product manager at an early stage (series A) b2b startup, should you build everything that your customers ask for? We’re at the stage where we don’t have a huge number of customers yet but get asked by existing customers for a lot of things to work a specific way that meets their specific need

Anyone have a good experience using a career coach? What did you find valuable at the time and looking back on the experience later? Anyone have a bad experience? I appreciate your input. I'm trying to decide whether to hire one.

For anyone who has recently went through any product owner/manager interview, can you post interview questions that you were asked?

What’s the longest you’ve gone before learning you’re boss is an ass%$&*?? 18 months for me 🤮

anyone here with Salesforce and do product willing to chat?

Real Talk: everyone complains about how many apps they send in and how many interviews don’t pan out in product. I just landed my 2nd product role in 2 years with pretty minimal interviewing. I wasn’t interviewing with or looking for a role at a FAANG or the latest greatest almost unicorn but I know what I want. I don’t think I’m great at interviewing but overall (even outside of product) I’ve gotten offers with not that much work tbh. What’s your experience here?

Ive seen a few posts here where people mentioned going through burnout and then switching jobs. I am experiencing that myself, and currently on leave and working to relax and getting better myself. However, some companies contact me with interesting open roles. My question is, how did you approach the search “after” and what were the factors you valued the highest in the new role search? Id love if anyone could share about those transition experiences too. Thanks!

Hey all, looking for some advice on how to deal when expectations of what you’ll accomplish at work are through the roof and can’t possibly be met.

I’m the only PM on a new product, and am juggling long term strategy definition, execution, design & research for MVP, trying to find time to create docs/pres for communication, and still trying to learn about the space.

We’re under a lot of pressure to deliver something in two months, and I’m struggling with expectation setting and prioritizing.

Anyone have experience in product security? New to the role and would love to learn more common practices in the industry or any helpful resources out there!

Any Product Managers working fully remote? Curious to the pros and cons and observations you may have. Looking to relocate in the next year or so and would love the flexibility to live where I want and not be tied to a city due to job.

Anyone working at WebMD? I have my 3rd round of interviews with 2 people and would love some advice on how to ace this, as it could be the final straw before their decision. Role: Product Manager (Remote). And does $115k/yr + 5% bonus sound decent for someone would has been a BA/PO 5+yrs? I also have a SAFE cert for PO/PM. This would be my first official role as a PM, kinda stoked about advancing into the PM world.

Would it be a mistake to go back into consulting?
I’m a PM at a B2B startup and have been in the role for over 2 years. Prior to that I was a consultant. I want to move into B2C but I’m finding it tough to get interviews, and even the few that I’ve had I’ve subsequently been rejected. Would I be better off going into product consulting to help my chances? Or would that make going into product again that much more harder?

I’m starting a new position as an internal IT Prod Manager moving from a BA role. I’m finding I need to also play BA, Scrummaster, and now Technical Project Manager. I assume it’s normal for a PM to wear these many hats?

I welcome any advice on how to successfully perform in this new role…

Hey, I'm a Product Manager in London, with 4 years of experience in product, what salary could I expect from Meta?

PM remote interviewing tip: when answering product sense or metrics questions, write out your framework and ideas on a blank notepad and share your screen. Your thinking/process will be super clear and they’ll appreciate the novel/effective approach

I am looking to upskill my PM capabilities with the objective of landing a senior product role at a FAANG company. My past experience is all in startups cofounding and exiting 2 over 7 years. What courses would you recommend? Product school - PL certificate? Others?
