Coming up on 30 days of my PIP tomorrow and trying to prepare myself for what might happen.
Since being put on the PIP, I’ve received very little documented feedback on my progress. HR hasn’t responded to my most recent email asking where I stand, and I’ve started being left out of upcoming projects/meetings. At the same time, I’m still expected to finish current projects with upcoming deadlines, including one involving a difficult third-party vendor that has contributed to some of the delivery issues.

The whole situation has been incredibly stressful. Part of me just wants it to be over, but obviously I also don’t want to lose the income. I’ve already started applying elsewhere and fortu

Curious how everyone keeps track of concerts coming up.

I feel like mine is kind of all over the place — Spotify, Instagram, friends sending me stuff, ticket apps, venue pages, etc. And I still occasionally find out about a show after it happened or when tickets are already crazy expensive.

Hey all, recently started interviewing for PM roles and they are asking me to take an idea, build either mock ups or a clickable prototype, present my product and then provide specs to devs.

If you had a week or two to learn the basics, what tool would you recommend and how would you go about it?

I’m a visual learner so any resources you can share would help!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to gather some real-world tactical advice from PMs who are currently in the job market or have recently landed a role.

Assuming you are a Senior PM 7-10 years of experience, have a solid track record of launching big-name consumer products and find yourself facing a 90-day clock to secure your next role, what exact steps would you take from Day 1 to Day 90?

Given how much the hiring landscape has shifted toward AI-heavy workflows, ATS filtering, personal branding, and high-agency execution, I’d love to hear how you would systematically approach each stage of the search:

Looking for a sanity check on our financial trajectory and specifically how others would approach investing additional cash right now given market valuations.

My spouse and I are both 35 with one child (likely a second in the next ~2 years). We live in a VHCOL area in the most desirable neighborhood.

Current financial picture:
~$1.42M total liquid net worth

Home worth ~$1.2M
~$935K mortgage at 6%
No other debt

Income:
~$540K combined base income
~$60K average annual bonus
Annual spending:
Around ~$220K/year currently
Could temporarily rise for a couple years with double childcare

Current investing:
Both max 401ks

I’m looking to level up my product analytics skills and would love recommendations from this community.

My background is in consumer products, where success is typically measured through engagement and profitability metrics. Right now I mainly use tools like FullStory to understand user behavior and Power BI for business/performance reporting.

Where I struggle is connecting the dots and telling a clear story with the data.

For example, when launching a new feature, it’s often hard to determine whether changes in engagement or revenue were actually caused by the feature versus seasonality, market conditions, or other variables.

I’d love to get better at:

New Card Recommendation Request

Card Recommendation Request (Template NOT Used)

P1 and P2 here trying to figure out the next best move for points. We’re pretty deep into the ecosystem already but suddenly hitting walls with approvals.

Current setup: P1: Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, 2× Chase Ink Business Cash P2: Marriott Brilliant, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Bilt, 2× Chase Ink Business Cash (All cards a few years old.)

We’ve basically run out of Chase points and mostly shifted to Amex. We still have ~300k Amex points, and our spend is high (family of 3, live in NYC, lots of dining + travel + groceries). We want to keep accumulating points for travel, especially for staying at hotels or booking flights.

Issue: P1 tried applying for another Ink and even the Amazon Visa,

P1 has had the CSR for 5+ years.. P2 closed the CSP 5 + years ago. Don’t care for lounge access since we now have a baby.

What’s the best way to take advantage of the 100k +30k Rakuten deal?
