He Thought Product Management Was The Answer...
Wednesday, 7 May, 2025
Ever thought about stepping into product management—just to try something totally different from engineering? Want expert guidance to grow? Apply for 1-on-1 tech career coaching with me. That’s exactly where Monte found himself. After years in dev and even engineering leadership, he made a move he thought would lead to more ownership and product vision. But once he was in the role… something felt off. In this coaching session, we unpack what actually happens when you chase product titles inside companies—and why the version you’re offered often isn’t what you imagined. Monte thought he was stepping forward. Instead, he realized he was just managing user stories and process artifacts. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really what the role is supposed to be?”—you’re not alone. You can also watch this episode on YouTube. Visit me at healthydeveloper.com
