Days in the Life of a Product Manager in Tech (Q+A About my Job at Ali Abdaal)

[@youvegotwings]

As someone who also has a degree in history, I love seeing other people working in fields that are not that expected for us. The skills we get studying humanities are underrated. We can do so many great things.

I ended up making a very similar to transition from academia into a research and tech position. I'm using a lot of the Notion skills I've learned to manage organizational data, you'll be very happy to know! (I started using Notion about 5 years ago after watching so many videos of you using it!) I had a similar experience--it was the skills I was building on the side that ended up getting me the job. I leveraged my religious history education with my entrepreneurial skills to land a research analyst position at a religious non-profit and I couldn't be happier!

Well done on the new series! Hope you have a great month ahead

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy this one

A lot of people who want to move out of the Humanities into the business environment or just want to move up to a coordinator, supervisor, and/or manager position do not realize that there are three things they need to be able to do as you indicated in the video lesson: 1) supervise, 2) schedule, and 3) budget. That's at the core. Once you have those skills, management becomes easier because you are then organized. I hope you do more of these. I like this.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Precisely! I am glad you enjoyed it

It's only been a couple of days but I feel spoiled by having all those videos in quick succession! These weeks have been super hectic for me, so getting to have short breaks where I watch your videos really helps me stay on track and motivated. Also excited for the holidays! Happy vlogmas!

The Grace Year is such a good book. I read it a few months ago and loved it so much. I hope you will also enjoy it.

“Fire Becomes Her” by Rosiee Thor definitely fits the “female rage” theme. It’s a 1920’s inspired fantasy about an Election between a queer women candidate & an old-white-man. The MC is a women who works on both. The author said in a tweet the book was for anyone who wanted to set our current government on fire (the magic in the book is fire).

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Immediately adds to cart

[@michelleblake8933]

Other "Female Rage" books you might like: The Power by Naomi Alderman, The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird, Red Clocks by Leni Zumas, and Vox by Christina Dalcher. A non-fiction book that may be of interest to you: Invisible Women: Exposing the Data Bias in a world designed for men by Caroline Criado-Perez. Enjoy!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Brilliant!! Thank you!!!

Any advice for a last year Economics student who is starting as a Market Research intern?? How to manage the pressure and easily manage Research??

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Communicate and ask questions! So often we want to look like we have it handled and forget that it is ok to ask for help and clarification. You'll be learning a lot as you go so don't be afraid to reach out to your teammates for insight

[@MahikaJoshi-p6t]

@KaelynGraceApple Thank you very much for the advice. Will definitely keep this in mind. Best advisor 💯
