We also talk about some of the surprises of product management and ways to prepare for a career in product.

Show Notes

Very few of us take a straight-line path into product management, and Chris is no exception. He talks about how his background helped prepare him for a career in product management, and what he learned along the way to help him be successful.

A few things Chris wishes he knew coming into product management:

1. Product managers often make decisions without all the information. How can we better prepare for this?
2. Not everyone understands the value of product management. How can we do better?
3. Product management is incredibly fun. As much hard work as it is, there are few careers as rewarding.
