A kid in an overpriced boarding school, excessive mortgage debt with an equal amount of ball-wrenching Westchester property taxes, a moderately expensive car I barely drive because I take a 1.5 hour commuter train into the city at 5am and don’t return home until 730pm, a spouse who is anxious about what kind of silverware we use when our friends come over, an under-funded retirement portfolio full of overpriced annuities I’m too dumb to know anything about and MBA debt I’m still paying off when my youngest finally gets into community college. This my friends, is success. Ask your VP

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to an early stage startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic. It feels like we’re becoming more sales led, there are too many pivots (I expected some) our roadmap is becoming influenced by sales/ceo. Essentially, we’re trying to do much. It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…
