So far, we’ve released our eBooks on earning a product management (PM) promotion, landing a Sr PM dream job, and offered advice from an executive search firm managing director. Now, it’s time to take a look at the big picture and understand what the entirety of a PM career looks like. It can help you know if you’re on the right track and when may be time for your next challenge. 

We had the chance to speak with author and the first-ever PM at Asana, Jackie Bavaro, about what a career in product management looks like. She shared the lessons she learned from writing two books on product management as well as from her own experiences in her career.

If you missed the first three eBooks in the series, you can still download them:
