BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this
@shreyas Above average but it needs to be tempered because I can’t go deep on everything. Sometimes you need to be at 500FT (just enough) to make decisions and understand trade offs
@asanwal I like to ask - if you had the autonomy to craft a roadmap for this product, where would you take it and why? This gets to 1/ thinking clearly, 2/ research, 3/ bold bets, and 4/ how they might back that up and convince people
@asanwal I’ve worked with a couple wunderkinds and core courses like comp sci teach you more than you can learn via experience - critical stuff for deep tech. Plus, social and soft skills are a steep learning curve. And you miss out on great friendships.
@shreyas@iamwil High agency and empowerment (maybe redundant) but every engineer I’ve worked with is interested is the customer problem. Also it’s up to the PM to prioritize and figure out direction. And that translates to $$$
@WIRED This is what happens when you cost cut and tout "incremental innovation" to existing 737 and 747 models. "Lets mount new fuel efficient engine further forward on an existing chassis, and use software to correct stall". Airbus ahead now.
Don't follow people on #X / #twitter who will tweet out stories on successes and failures and lessons learned. That shit is high level and not impactful. Real product people & entrepreneurs managing P&L don't have time for this. They're too busy living, operating, and coaching.
If you want to up-level your #product career, I highly recommend @shreyas PM course on Maven. It will change your life. He’s a great guy with lots of thought provoking questions and no nonsense guidance.
@jspujji As a McKinsey alum engagement margins are ++ across MBB. Big 4 charge 40-60% less for strategy engagement, in reality the margins are 15-20% after you consider: 1/ partner billing, 2/ team billing, 3/ internal firm research, and 4/ new roles like data scientists in eng teams.
