〰️ description 〰️
Back when I was applying for Product Manager roles, I didn't quite understand the role. And I'm sure many of you are in the same boat. In this video, I’ll answer: What is product management? How do you use data in the development process? And, do you need to code as a product manager? 📈

Heyy when will you do a QNA video. I would love to know how you started as a PM or how you got introduced to it. And your journey through all these years

[@harshibar]

hi! i don’t have a q&a planned but can touch on those questions in an upcoming video :) but long story short, i got introduced to it in my first internship where i worked with PMs. i thought the role seemed pretty cool, so when i got my first SWE job i tried to take on more PM-related tasks.

[@mdashifali2692]

Thank you ma'am for this informative video 🙂🙂

As a sde-1 looking to get in PM 4-6 months, any tips on preparation for interview...

[@harshibar]

my #1 tip is to start doing mock interviews as soon as possible! for PM interviews, practice really makes perfect, since our interviews are less based on technical questions, and more on how you think through general product questions.

[@akhildraksharapu]

What’s the website from 5:03 & any other resources you use or used before to learn PM and stuff please share em 🙃

Lovely video Harshibar , as always.... Is Yogi a Cockapoo?

[@harshibar]

thank you! I adopted Yogi so I'm not reallyyy sure what he is, but i think hes a schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle mix)

[@onetikatatime888]

@@harshibar thank you for your reply Harshibar. Yogi is lovely, sure you would have heard that million times from the viewers. It's very cute that yogi is wearing the same orange thread like you.. :) perhaps consider making a video on "Day in a Life" from Yogi's perspective..

[@kaushikrao4832]

What was the most challening work you have faced as PM?

[@harshibar]

For me, the most challenging aspect is kicking off projects or starting something from zero-to-one. There's a ton of ambiguity at this phase to work through, and often can feel kind of overwhelming.

[@Agrover112]

Seeing all Product Managers getting laid off first makes me really think like is it really that flexible of a career?

[@harshibar]

💀 times have certainly changed since i made that video 😭

[@mudrad1930]

Can i ask for a referral now 😀 .. 😂😂

[@Kevin-cy2dr]

@@harshibar on a serious note if someone has a stellar resume would you help them out with a referral?Feel free to say no.

[@ghosthunter0950]

What kind of nonsense is it to have someone manage software product that can't program him/herself? you want the best person for the job, it's literally not possible to be that without having actually programmed. Technically someone that can't code can possibly better be than someone who can as a PM the person who can't will never be among the best at it.
