Just launched my very first product and I do not feel the same excitement that everyone else in my team and company feels… Is this normal for a Product Manager?

Why do you feel that way? Is there some gnawing feeing it won’t succeed or something was left off or something not feeling right?

I feel it was rushed. I expressed my concerns the powers that be but of course was told that everything will be ok.

Yes especially if you didn’t actually design it yourself. I used to be a product design engineer in my previous roles designing electro mechanical switches for automotive OEMs and customized aerospace tooling. Now I’m a Product Manager with a lot of technical background and launching a product pales in comparison to the actual
CAD design, testing and validation of my product. In my previous roles I launched the product as well. Now just launching a product is child’s play.

You’re not going to connect with everything. That’s normal.

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄

Hey all,
Im looking to pivot my career from industrial design to product design or product management.
At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors.

Did anybody else make a similar career switch? Any advice for switching to product is welcome. Thanks!
