The PM jobs are tight but I have seen great leaders from Google and meta start coaching classes/fractional consulting. They are some amazing leaders who can easily start their own company or get high profile jobs in any startup. Is the market that bad that all they are starting consulting and coaching? If they are so good at what they do why are they not getting those high flier jobs. What am I missing? It’s a great and noble of them to give back but something seems amiss. Thoughts? #pm #product #productmanager
Its easier and less work than starting your own company or working in a start up. And you work as much or as little as you want. Some people like that type of lifestyle. I noticed most people I have worked with don't want to put that much effort into work.
Huh? Are you confusing what you see on your LI or TikTok feeds with reality?
Skip podcast guy?
Many of them got shitcanned and try to milk their Faang pedigree when most of them couldn’t even crack the GPM role. Gamified their way to land a gig and usually most of these influencers couldn’t stay more than a couple of years.
For every 1 PM influencer there is 100 hardworking PMs who are doing their job really well. The reality is only have visibility to that shitty influencer

I just laid off 500+ people to keep my TC. AMA
I bet they're sick of working for the corporate overlords and want to have more control over their lives by working for themselves. I see the appeal after having to live with the low-level anxiety of being laid off for several months, then being laid off. And now in my new job, I might get laid off again because they're a mess. 🫠 A lot of my laid off tech friends are starting their own companies because there's no guarantee you'll be able to keep your corporate job anymore. Might as well do something you are passionate about
