I want to get better as a product manager, and don't really have a mentor. How can I do it? I already subscribe to a lot of blogs etc but want something hands-on with a feedback loop. Suggestions please?

Join a mentorship platform. There are a lot of mentorship platforms online for mentees and mentors to connect. I suggest you try MentorCruise, GrowthMentor, or Pelion.

How often are you communicating with other departments? I've found really great literature online that all really highlights being open to feedback, as well as changing your processes. Sounds like you've already got the right mindset, but maybe you could ask your other departments directly how they think you're doing.

Facebook groups or networking with the product managers to get feedback and insight to their approaches. Also get feedback from people in your company especially those that work under you.

Check out MeetUp groups for product management and/or tech

Look for seminars that pertain to your field. You might get lucky and find some in your area. If not, try online courses and groups specifically for product managers. Have you given Skillshare a try?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

Any advice on a first year trying to transition from family law to in-house? I always thought family law was my path, and used to enjoy it, but it’s not the direction I want to head in anymore. I don’t think I even want to continue with any litigation work. I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
