In summary, how to destroy the game as an early career PM:
1. Don’t rush to please
2. Back things up with data or research
3. Focus on your priorities, not others’
These simple tips will differentiate you from 95% of other early PMs.

Burnout is real. A few 1:1 meeting questions to ask your team to preempt it...

“1. Whatever the work is, do it well—not for the boss but for yourself.
2. You make the job; it doesn’t make you.
3. Your real life is with us, your family.
4. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.”

If we placed less value on people around us anticipating our needs vs learning how to communicate them clearly, I think the world would be a much happier place. Mind reading ≠ love! – at Paris, France

Paris ENS is France’s top school and agregation there is highly competitive. This year, due to COVID they cancelled the orals, only had the (anonymous) written exam. As a result ~80% of successful candidates were women. 8-0. Eighty.
Women usually represent ~40% of ENS agrégés

I've been working remotely for 2.5 years. The past 2.5 months have left me more *exhausted* than ever before.
This is your reminder that you're not working remotely. You're working remotely during a global health crisis.
