The worst heads of product I've had could all answer yes. None of the best could.
Do you actually seek this out?
- Maro 8y agoI had the opposite experience. The best Product culture / PMs I've worked with was at FB by a wide margin.
- ultrasaurus 8y agoThose points aren't necessarily in disagreement. I've known a lot of people who thought they were ready for the next level or two steps up but weren't. So they went from an A+ IC somewhere solid to a C- "director" at a startup as soon as they got the chance. (disclosure: former PM, current Head of Product, have almost certainly made this class of mistake)
