How is someone a “product manager” at 22? Don’t you need to know the product and know management to be a product manager?

Some companies offer pm as internships or early in career positions. Therefore, it's definitely possible it's just tough to get into.

Read the book “Cracking the code” about Product Manager interviews at the big tech companies.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
