The uncomfortable truth about PM job descriptions. I analysed 500 PM job postings across 100 companies. 5. I will be frank with you that it is written that you will decide the product strategy, but in the majority of cases, you have to execute what leadership has already decided. 4. They mention that you own the end-to-end product lifecycle and noticed that this Doglapan happened a lot when any blunder occurred, you are blamed for that thing. 3. I have noticed many times, and once my colleague got fired as well. Who has to figure out the data to support the boss's opinion? If you don’t have valid points and the company is going through a difficult time, then you will likely be fired. 2. I will tell you that working with robots is far easier, but working with humans is very hard. 1. When any company mentions "Competitive salary", just keep in mind that they try to give the lowest salary possible. If you don’t learn how to negotiate salary, then you will be in big trouble.

Online MBAs from IIMs are a big scam. I know a Product Manager who recovered from Cancer and is a student at IIM Kozhikode. He is pursuing online MBA from IIM Kozhikode with loan of 5 lakhs he is only bread earner in his family. He reached out to me for help because of Cancer he has not working since last year and he has not gotten any interviews because of the gap in the profile. 3 Reasons why you should not pursue an Online MBA. • MBA is the last degree you will pursue in your life. • MBA is more about practical learning and understanding how to manage smart people. • MBA colleges in India are placement agencies more than anything else. I will say 2 things only. • If you want to do an MBA, then only do it in Physical Mode. • If you want to do an MBA, see the placement track record and do from those colleges that have great placement support. Do you agree with this: “Doing MBA online is Just Waste of Money and Time ?”

I recently met a person in Bangalore earning ₹1.25 crore as Director of Product. Here are 3 key takeaways I learned from our conversation: 3. Develop exceptional clarity in both written and verbal communication—it’s a game-changer. 2. Focus on industries where investors are investing large amounts of funds. So that company has the potential to pay you good amount. 1. The best way to grow your salary is by directly linking your performance to the company’s Profit and Loss statement. #ProductManager #ProductManagement #CareerGrowth

The biggest lie told to aspiring Product Managers. "You don't need technical skills to be a great PM." 80% Aspiring PMs believe this myth. Then they get into real PM roles and struggle for 6-12 months before getting fired or quitting. A Senior PM at Flipkart told me: "Non-technical PMs spend 70% of their time asking developers to explain things instead of solving user problems." 5 Technical Skills Every PM Must Learn: 5️. AI Agents :You must know how to build AI agents using no-code tools. 4️. API Understanding: Know how your product talks to other systems. Critical for integrations, partnerships, and technical product decisions. 3️. System Design Fundamentals: Understand scalability, databases, and architecture. Helps you make better product decisions that won't break at scale. 2️. Analytics Implementation: Know how tracking works, what events to capture, and how to set up proper measurement frameworks. 1️. Basic Coding Logic: Don't need to code, but understand if-then logic, loops, and data structures. Helps you think like engineers and communicate better.

AI Product Managers are killing the Product Manager. #Day51 of #HelpingAspiringPMs100Days Many Product Managers I've seen are just project trackers, Jira experts, or people who play with Excel all day in the office. These kinds of Product Managers will become obsolete soon. Because of AI, low-quality Product Managers will die out soon, while high-quality PMs who embrace AI will dramatically increase their value. By using AI, Product Managers will be able to: → Test more effectively → Lead with better data and insights → Deploy features faster than ever If you want to become an AI-powered Product Manager: → Learn how to build AI Agents → Learn about LLMs, RAG, and other AI technologies This era will reward those who work hard in the right direction. PMs who embrace AI will build careers that scale exponentially. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲. 𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.
