How to be Intentional About Career Growth as a PM
summary
Practical, specific tactics: get a PM job via internal transfers, hackathons, or APM rotations; prefer teams that ship more frequently so learning cycles compress; carve out one day for strategic work and draft a three-part strategy (vision, framework, roadmap) you can iterate; sell ideas persistently — examples include persistent small bets that became big features; focus core skills like prioritization and clear written communication; build credibility by becoming the domain expert, never dropping commitments, and showing measurable impact on product metrics.
