My journey in product management wasn't a straight path. It meandered through diverse fields like fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, and PaaS, all without the traditional engineering background or formal education often deemed essential. Instead, I relied on grit, resilience, and a relentless "learn by doing" attitude. I stumbled, I fell, but I got back up twice as strong, fueled by a desire to help others avoid similar struggles.
However, when I ventured into the world of product management resources, I was met with a labyrinth of articles and websites overflowing with information. It was a blessing and a curse. While the knowledge was invaluable, it was also overwhelming. Lost and unsure of where to begin, I was bombarded with questions: What skills do I need? Where do I even start? How do I progress?
I knew I wasn't alone. This information overload likely discouraged many others from pursuing their product management dreams, and that saddened me deeply. I firmly believed that everyone has the potential to excel in this field, but they needed the right guidance and resources.
That's where Product Girl was born. It's not just another website; it's a burning desire to offer support and clarity to those navigating the intricate landscape of product management. It's a roadmap, a guiding light that sheds clarity on the distinct stages and phases of this dynamic career path. It equips individuals with the essential tools they need to not just survive, but to thrive and achieve their full potential.
I hope Product Girl becomes more than just a website; I hope it becomes a community, a source of inspiration, and a testament to the power of believing in your potential and having the right resources to guide you on your journey. See you soon! 🫶
