What exactly is done by a Product Manager? What are his responsibilities?

-

Product Manager roles are becoming famous these days. Many CEOs were once product managers and did that do them any profit? Let us go further in reading more about product management.

Product Manager role is a role where a person/employee is a manager/charge of a product or a component of a product that is widely used by people at a place or a country. The product manager identifies the problem or needs of a customer and develop or build the product according to their needs. Basically it's like turning a vision into reality. Yeah in my terms he manages really hard to get stuff done. I mean, people have to work hard at the end of the day to get what they want or achieve what they want right?

Not just being famous, this is one of the highly paying jobs in the world(Yeeah true I did my research yo).

Roles of a Product manager:

1. Understanding the needs of user

2. Being able to represent and make changes in the product for development

3. Designing a vision for the product

4. Aligning the stakeholders around vision for the product

5. prioritizing product features and working towards the development of the product

6. Creating a shared brain across larger teams to empower independent decision-making

It's a lot of work I know right!

Few people say it's better to be a developer and individual contributor instead of being a product owner or a product manager. My neighbour is working in Oracle from 10 years and she says she's happy in a tech lead role. She doesn't even have any intentions to go to managerial positions. Why do people think that way? Not sure(I conducted a survey on it though).

Moving to a different country as a master's student

Since I turned 18, I always wanted to get out of the house and live independently. Being come from an orthodox family who never sent their daughter out of house(not even to hostel), I understand the struggle of finally being away from family. it's a freedom that comes with a price of not being lazy anymore.  I have begun my master's in Information Technology at Northwestern University, one of the most reputed universities in the world. It is a great news and I was super excited but here comes the thing. Once you reach United States from India(or any country away from home), you get to do things by yourself. NO ONE WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU LIKE YOUR PARENTS DID.  You enter a new place with new people and new problems. You get to do everything by yourself. From buying what you need to managing your expenses, you will see the difference in everything.
