Product management is often seen as a very cool job—the place where ideas come to life, where innovation combines with execution, and where the thrill of building something meaningful keeps us up at night.
Congratulations on getting out of the complain zone. I still have one foot in it... 👀
On a serious note though, I find it extremely hard. I reckon part of the reason is we are at the centre of so many teams. We speak to sales, customer service, support, devs, infrastructure, customers; we are in centre of it all.
Over time I feel like it's easy to soak all the negativity up from all these places and default to _just_ the negative stuff.
Thank you for the reminder, though. Be the change you want to see in the world!
