Product management has become an aspirational career. A group of popular social media influencers regularly offers advice on what it takes to attain a job and succeed in this field. But their content tends to glamorize the profession, gloss over the day-to-day-realities, and dispense wisdom that isn’t always on point.
Product management has become the dream job for many people working in tech. Who wouldn’t want a role that promises high earnings (according to Glassdoor, PMs are among the highest-paid professionals in tech) and the opportunity to shape products that positively impact millions of customers? That’s why the path to becoming a PM attracts a lot of attention, especially from fresh graduates and those seeking career transitions.
