How do you measure your own success as a PM? It's tricky for me because it’s not like engineering (code shipped) or sales (revenue closed). Some days, I feel like all I do is unblock teams and align stakeholders, but how do you actually prove your value in a way that helps your career grow?

One thing that helped me: Getting direct feedback from engineers, designers, and stakeholders. If they consistently say, ‘You make my job easier and our work more effective,’ that’s proof of impact, even if it’s not in a spreadsheet.
