Boris nailed the difference between startup and bigger company. I love the job. You end up understanding the consumer to deliver the right product for them. At the end when the product is in their hands it's so fulfilling to see how much they love it.

Day to day changes based on where we are in the product development process. In the beginning, you're defining requirements after consumer work.

After you have your set of ideal requirements, it ends up being chasing others down and making tradeoffs to deliver a product at quality and at cost.

It's a painful (you're accountable for everything) but extremely rewarding job when done right.

No, I typically pick a selection of my own stocks that I do my research on. My background is tech and engineering, so I focus heavily there. It also lets me select the risk profile I want.

Pretty similar to everyone that has posted so far 33% passive, 66% primary job.

Passive includes real estate rental income and dividend income.

Product Management at a Nasdaq company and rental property owner.

Glad to help!

120%. Home values to NW

It’s being thrown off by rental properties. If I didn’t include my rental properties it would be 25%.

In my biased opinion... If you are going for an Executive MBA, make it count from one of the top 10 schools. Pricetag wise... Mine was $170k for the degree.

If you don't need the networking or knowledge, then why do it? Do you have a network from one of the larger schools or is something professional you've built up?

I did this. Great experience

For me my number was 50k on the side sitting as cash. First getting into it I wanted to be prepared in case anything catastrophic went wrong.

Newer properties, you probably need significantly less but my house was built in 1900 and the previous owner put lipstick on it before selling it.

Ongoing costs I figure 5% of total rent for repairs. 2% capex to cover big items like a roof.

I have dual engineering undergraduate degrees and an MBA from a school in the top 15. I work in a consumer products company.

Getting an MBA doesn't mean you have to manage a team. One of the biggest values I received my from MBA was to learn how to communicate better cross functionally.

My advice would be to ask your employer if they will fund it either fully or partially. Also, focus on the top 20 schools.

Product Manager

I'm a Product Manager at a large corporation you've likely heard of. I have a Project Manager who handles all that work for me. In my opinion for a Product Manager, you can learn enough through YT / other media to be adequate.

Hiring a Product Manager, in my opinion this would not give them any more credibility.

Yes. A lot of autonomy within certain bounds. We make a specific type of consumer good and as long as it isn’t completely off the reservation and off brand I’m pretty free to develop as necessary.

I only had ownership in R&D in my last position, but this position helped me see all aspects of launching products.

I work as a product manager. I research and come up with new products to sell. I am accountable for the product from the inception of the idea all the way until a few months after it’s on the market.
