It depends on what industry, but in tech the Product Manager typically sits in between the customer and technology. You are a jack of all trades, master of none holding out a product vision you've worked to build with customer empathy. This role coordinates between design, tech, and project management, to ensure business requirements and customer requirements are met. LOTS of meetings, facilitations, and listening. The challenges of this role are 1. You're incompetent, you don"t know enough tech or business to be a SME. 2. You often are the punching bag between tech and the business. Positives - you get to craft a strategic vision for your organization and hold its hand as it gets brought into the world (and then promply rejected by users.), so you keep refining it again and again.

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
