A Day in the Life of a Product Manager, as told through memes

That’s it. That’s the whole tweet.

Oct 23, 2020

--

The “mini-CEO”

Onboarding

Deciding next steps when the A/B test results contradict themselves

Launching a new feature instead of addressing tech debt

Trying to interpret data from someone sharing their screen

Reading feedback from execs saying why your very thoroughly thought out proposal won’t work

Whiteboarding your ideas

Telling engineering what the deadline to ship is

Reading Zendesk tickets from a user who just doesn’t understand how the feature works

Responding to any and everyone

Getting ghosted by a recruiter

Launching a feature that breaks a completely different part of the product

Impostor syndrome

Listening to a report that a flashy feature didn’t work after having the user research that it wasn't going to work

Hitting product-market fit

Emerging from an agile sprint

Seeing LinkedIn messages for a referral

Receiving a feature request when the engineering is halfway done

Meetings. So many meetings.

Working through catered lunch

Saying goodbye to the unpaid intern

Trying to read through applicants’ resumes

Remembering a SQL query you left running

Somebody should fix that
