My name is Love Duru, a product manager focused on understanding product problems and finding solutions. Last week, I completed a product management course that has been truly eye-opening. Interestingly, I got to know about it right after finishing a free 8-week career essentials program. How did I find out about the career essentials program? It all started with curiosity and a conversation with a friend. I went home, researched, and that led me to this fantastic opportunity. Seeking and staying open to new possibilities has transformed the way I see things—especially in tech. This journey has taught me that tech is life, and there’s no going back. Seeking isn’t just about finding success, it’s about the growth, learning, and perspective you gain along the way. Keep seeking, because the doors to greatness are open to those who actively look for them. I am Love Duru, I am more 🌞 #LoveDuru #growth #betechifiedbootcamp #productmanagement #productmanager #mystory

What makes great products great is balance Balance between depth of features and breadth of features Balance between how often their PMs say yes and say no to stakeholders Balance between speed of increments and quality of increments Balance between number of problems they solve and the importance of problems they solve Balance between business needs and user needs Balance between successful and failed feature launches Balance between agility and stubborness Great products are like those Grand Slam winners in tennis who know how to win games by understanding the conditions and balancing their games according to what is required Their greatness is inherent in their ability to balance! #ProductManagement #Balance #Products

STOP Giving Product Manager Take Home Interview Assignments ------- Another small rant here on PM hiring processes. I recently wrote about bad interview questions. (See link in comments) Take home interview assignments have become VERY popular in PM interview processes. The assignments take the form of some objective to achieve or some problem to solve. e.g. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀. Note: I didn’t just make that up. This is taken from a YouTube video (link in comments) that purports to teach you a framework on how to do these well. Watch the video and then tell me this is a reasonable hiring practice. HINT: It’s absolutely not. Imagine. You’re APPLYING for a job, and they give you an assignment that even many of their employee PMs would struggle with. And you’ve got a few hours to go and figure it all out and then defend it in front of the hiring team. What is really being assessed here? The PM candidate is provided information (documents, files etc.), some info on what is expected of them and (almost NEVER) an OBJECTIVE evaluation rubric so they can understand how they will be assessed. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 1. The expectations are so ambiguous, and the evaluation criteria so vague that whatever the candidate creates will be evaluated on opinion and not on anything objective or standard across candidates (and across evaluators). 2. The info provided to the candidate can often be confusing and overwhelming. I spoke to a candidate recently who was given a Google drive folder with 8-10 documents (pdfs, spreadsheets) with no clarity on what they were. Each PDF was 7-8 pages long. The spreadsheet was poorly labelled and had inconsistencies in it. What was she expected to do with all that? 3. NO ONE does these take home assignments alone. I’ve personally helped 2 people who were given these assignments. If I recall, both got their jobs, but with one, I struggled to provide guidance as I had no domain knowledge of that industry. What are they expecting from a job candidate? 4. These assignments measure the strength of the candidate's network, more than anything else. Given everyone gets help, people who do the work (mostly) themselves may be eliminated because their work isn't as “strong” as another candidate who had significant help. 5. People’s home environment may have an impact. A single person with few responsibilities will have more time etc. to focus on this, than a parent (or single parent) with lots of other responsibilities. How are those differences factored into the hiring decision? HINT: They're NOT. I’ll stop here…but between poorly designed assignments, vague assessment criteria, people getting help, and impacts of home life, what are you actually learning about the candidate to make an informed hiring decision? Pretty much nothing IMHO. There are better, more equitable and less arduous ways to assess people. Let's use them.

To all the folks who use MoEngage as marketing automation tool and have not started using their Sherpa feature, my advice to them is start using this feature asap. Sherpa is a set of machine-learning-based capabilities built right into MoEngage to automatically optimize and predict these key components of marketing automation: 1. Which users to target? (Audience) 2. What’s the right messaging and the best channel to reach an individual? (Content and Medium) 3. What’s the best time to deliver an interaction for an individual? (Time) Using this feature has helped increase my CTRs by 20-30%. The impact is more visible on email communication. Kudos to the team who worked on this feature using machine learning and is actually helping customers like us improve our efficacy in our comms. #moengage #marketingautomationtool #customerengagement #ai #machinelearning #artificialintelligence
