Given that tech systems become more and more commoditized day by day , will the role of finding business problem, getting a solution built, and selling it to leadership be more sustainable ? #tech
I would say Technical Product Managers would be better off.
I just want high tc
Product managers at Google are actually worthwhile. Elsewhere in the industry, useless.
Bullshit - you can’t imagine the growth they have . Just do few morning meetings and then you can’t find them . At the end of cycle - they say - ‘we are the best ‘and get promotion while engineering burn their a** off to get to the finishing line🚀🚀 Only higher ups are technical driven they understand the bs. But most do not
The best job - so much importance in meeting and let other ppl to burn the ass to get things done. They also get to director level so fast - due to exposure.
Sounds like what someone who’s never been a pm would say
1. Finding a business problem — PMs can’t tell if a business problem is solvable by existing technology. And PM are very bad at estimating the time and resource required to solve a problem — because they don’t understand the underlaying technology at all. Metaverse is the perfect example of PM’s failure due to proposing a problem which is not solvable by existing technology and taking excessive time & resources 2. Selling to leadership — PMs sell the wrong product. Leadership goes after money, so selling product that doesn’t make money — that makes leadership hate PMs. And because of reasons mentioned in (1), PM is very bad at estimating the cost of building a product, resulting in frequent over-promises of product’s ability to make money and over-looking the actual good products 3. Getting a solution built — SWEs are doing it. PM is just EM-wanna-be who stir the water muddy
People said the same thing about Sales people a decade earlier.
As a product manager, i agree 😎😅🫡👍
