I’m more introverted and like to process things internally; is product marketing or product management a better fit for me?

You are gonna be a center piece in either of those roles and people will be looking to you for answers early and often. If I had to pick I’d say product management because you are dealing frequently with engineering teams versus marketing is closer to clients imo

Current PM switched from consulting. There are times where I do data analysis but that is about 10% of my job. Most of the time is spent working with other people. Doing interviews and then explaining requirements to dev/testing. Im in meetings, half the day and I get pinged constantly for requests from biz or needing to explain something to tech. For introverts look into data science or analysis.

Do they usually call/email/ping with the decision? In the past it has been ping for a rejection.

Joined a company months ago in a new industry and was told to own the company enterprise roadmap. It’s a new pillar for the company (of 4). Since I’m new and lack industry experience, is it a fair ask that my boss or their boss should be able to articulate the vision for that? Or set objectives/goals? They reply with just “you own the roadmap” and quite frankly I feel like they don’t know what they’re doing (they both don’t have domain expertise either). Am I being set up for failure?

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
