It's almost 2023 🤯 If you're an early-stage (0-5 years of experience) PM who has extra cash you need to spend before the end of the year as part of your educational stipend... I'd love to support your career development by working with you 1:1 as your product career coach:

Fun fact: Many companies have L&D stipends for employees to invest in courses, books, conferences, etc. Almost 50% of @MavenHQ students get their courses reimbursed. But these budgets usually expire on Dec 31. Here's how to get reimbursed (and what to say to your manager):

One of the fastest ways to onboard as a PM: read customer support tickets and shadow sales calls.

My first rule about performance reviews? ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISES. If you're "saving up" feedback to go over during a performance review -- don't. Performance reviews are stressful enough. No one needs to hear performance feedback for the the first time during that meeting.

We often withhold feedback, trying not to hurt feelings or relationships. But what really hurts relationships is withholding feedback that can help the person become better.

While most people focus on “hard skills”, frameworks, and strategy, if you aren’t building on a good foundation your house will crumble. At its base, being an exceptional product manager means being a great human. To me, essential human skills include being:

PRD, OKR, NPS, CAC, ARR.. There are so many acronyms in Product & tech. Some stand for a type of doc, others are goals or metrics. Here are 12 of the most common acronyms PMs use & what they mean:

A designer I worked with joked that 1/2 of the job of a PM is keeping stakeholders happy. He’s not wrong. The job of a PM is for stakeholders to feel heard & respected even if the reality is you’re not prioritizing their asks at all.
