I think this is YMMV. I've had a few jobs where I was very product-minded and a few jobs where I wasn't. The product-minded jobs were way more enjoyable to me.

I think this is YMMV. I've had a few jobs where I was very product-minded and a few jobs where I wasn't. The product-minded jobs were way more enjoyable to me. I really like the empowerment, autonomy, and sense of ownership that comes with being product-minded. I feel like I am allowed to thrive, and that my contributions produce much more value. Maybe this is possible in a non-product-minded role, but I think you would need really great support roles (PM, PO, etc) and great communication.
