I honestly kind of fell into product because I enjoy problem solving. The technical aspect drew me in + the chance to actually work on something tangible.
I was previously in sales and spent so much time listening to problems, knowing how to solve them, but having no way to. I’m very intrinsically motivated and selfishly love knowing I can be the one to drive a solution that makes people happy and impressed with a product. It doesn’t feel like work to me most of the time and I love having a creative outlet from 9-5 every day. I focus on consumer so it’s been really fun for me. I’d eventually like to be someone who advises several companies at once about their product vision but I have a ways to go.
I have strong empathy for our users, after being one for a few years and then training them for almost 9 years after that. I really want to make our product better for them.
I think it's the most empowered role in the chain. You get to work with literally everyone in the org and if you are motivated by customer, you get to solve their problems. Additionally, I come from an industrial design background and it's the most natural career switch for me in the post industrial era.
I started off in marketing. My favorite part of marketing was getting into the psychology of the customer and their needs. Being that that is the central point of a product manager's job it was a no brainer transition for me.
I started out as a solutions engineer, solving problems, as many have said so far. I enjoyed designing and building, but thought I could do more! My new role, as PM, just started last week. I'm excited to work with existing and prospective clients, help marketing develop case studies and campaigns, help sales develop strategies, complete market analyses, ... All the things. Based on what I've seen, I'm sure I'm being way too optimistic, but excited to give this a try!
Honestly not sure I want to stay in product. Feel so burnt out. But not sure what else to do either. Product is hard!
Same here! This year has been really tough. I feel like the stress it brings me is not worth it. I'm hanging on because this is all I know. Tough life, I know.
