What does a day in the life of a product manager look like?
I work in San Francisco. I wake up and hop on Teams calls as early as six or seven in the morning. This is mainly because I'm on the East Coast team, and there's a time difference.
Then I head to San Francisco and take the BART to the office. Our office is right next to the giant stadium, which is pretty cool. It overlooks the stadium, so you can watch the games from the rooftop or even the top floor.
We have a hybrid policy, so I'm in the office three to four days a week. Then I hop on calls and have design meetings or work on deliverables depending on what the team is working on. That's pretty much what I do.
