My experience is that it is a nightmare to hire product managers who will "figure it out as they go". There are so many skills that a talented product manager needs to be successful. Leadership, communication, technical expertise, and so on are all mentioned in the announcement.
The cost of engineering makes product missteps extremely expensive over time in both the large and the small.
- Judgmentality 9y agoSo hire a product manager with previous experience in another position, ideally the kind he'd be managing. Sure, if the program can impart all of those skills onto its graduates then it sounds great. But having gone through school to the point of quitting my PhD, working at various companies of various sizes and starting my own company, I put very little weight in degrees - especially anything with an emphasis on business. Yes, I am biased. But I would be happy to be convinced otherwise if someone can provide the data.
