The best two pieces of advice i will give to all aspiring PM’s from my career journey would be:
* Make your Why clear: Write down why you wanted to be a PM. You often have to answer this to yourself multiple times in your career 🙂
We often underestimate the power of hobbies.
But the power of them in your career can be amazing.
Some of the hobbies that i pursued which has helped me through my product management career are 👇🏻
Mentoring : Meeting new people / Improving my communication skills / Forming connection between my thoughts
Doing workshops / Seminars: Structuring my learnings
Writing: Documenting my thoughts and strategies
Investing : Closely learning about different companies and their business models
Playing football / Cycling: Keeping myself fit
Creating reels on Instagram : Story telling

As Tech PMs we sometimes tend to forget this.
The fact that the experience of our product doesn’t end up with the in-app / web experience.
There is an experience loop outside the app.
Optimize for it also!

You are an active Artificial Intelligence contributor.
In fact, you train AI every single day.
What?
Yes.
Remember those Captchas, Recaptchas, and Select images with street sign prompt?
These are ways to identify if you are a human being + it is also a crowdsourcing mechanism to train AI systems
When you type that word, say that it is a bike or car.
It indirectly trains the AI systems.
Yes.
This is just one example of how you contribute to training AI every single day.
There are many other instances where our collective intelligence is used by different companies to train AI systems.

Loved this subtle nudge😍.
It shows me a 20 days countdown to my next vehicle service.
Just to ensure I never miss my next service.
Imagine the impact of this small change
More people service on time -> Longer vehicle life & fewer complaints -> More people trust in the vehicle -> More Sales -> More Revenue, etc
Overthinking is a very common trait for Product managers 🤔 .
