I’m on weed most of the time

Usually, when I’m starting a new role, I have to be in the weeds to figure out what’s going on however, as my team matures, if I’m still in the weeds, that means I didn’t hire the right people. You have to hire people that you trust to figure out the tactical stuff. If not, then it’s very hard to do the bigger strategy and vision work stream.

Looking to buy a vacation home on the west coast not in a major city. West coast so it doesn’t take too long to get there. Could consider other areas, but don’t want to spend too much time traveling there. Budget is under $700k for 3 bedroom, at least 2k sqft. Any ideas?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Additional Posts in Product Management

Looking for advice from anyone that worked at a large company in product management and switched either to a startup or a smaller company, or even to another large company. I find myself getting very frustrated with process getting in the way of progress. Is this true of all large companies? And is it better to have the ambiguity of no process at all at a smaller company?

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.

Going on 1.5 yoe and still learning how to organize and deliver customer-centric features at a bank. I’m feeling overwhelmed and eternally behind when it comes to scoping intent and managing timelines. In fact, I have not gotten a timeline together yet because I am still determining features required. I am having trouble detecting features required because I do not know customer preferences, and I don’t know customer preferences because I have only industry data. Does PM always few so chaotic?
