What is true is there will be fewer VPs than people they manage, fewer PMs than engineers, and fewer CEOs than almost everything else. ;-) </pedantic>
Given that principle though, what do you think I meant by "When I look at the ratio between engineers and product managers, it seems they are skeptical about the role."? Do you really think I meant that since there are fewer product managers than engineers, I've concluded they're skeptical about the role?
- danielmarkbruce 4y agoThe statement suggests a belief there is some information in the ratio. Google tends toward about a dozen engineers per PM overall. It varies across the org depending on the product. Google is explicitly pro PM. The CEO was one. There is no information in the ratio.
