Hey, I'm thrilled you're here
Welcome, It's great to have you on board!
Hi, Elena here ✍️
Many years ago I decided to stop being a developer and make the next big jump in my career. I still remember the words of my manager, “You are the best choice for the product management position, would you accept the challenge?”
But even though I was on fire, I didn't understand my purpose. I dedicated 2 years of my life to burn myself to death and, in the end, I quit. 🤷♀️
It turned out that I would return to product management. The thing is, its complexity makes it a beautiful career worth trying.
That’s where this newsletter comes in. This is my way of giving back to other professionals like you that are looking to understand more about the Product Management world and thrive in their careers, without the big learning curve that I walked.
Now, I'm writing to help anyone who is feeling overwhelmed, confused or just plain stuck. Whether you're dealing with user feedback, navigating a complex roadmap, or trying to rally your team around a vision, I want you to know that you're not alone. 🫂
I'll be sharing insights, tips, and personal anecdotes that helped me transform my perspective on product management.
I believe that understanding your unique purpose is key to not just surviving, but thriving in this role.
The journey can be challenging, but with the right mindset and tools, it can also be incredibly rewarding. 🏅
