What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
In my current industry, tech, specifically networking, it's rewarding to see and hear from our customers that the things I'm working on are genuinely critical to their organizations. When you work at a networking company, consider all the infrastructure businesses need to run.
This includes wireless technology to ensure people are connected, which also requires hardware. When you think about security, especially in our remote world, it's about ensuring people have the right access while keeping data and individuals secure.
Seeing how mission-critical it is for organizations to have the best networking infrastructure, and being part of the team that helps with product development, messaging, and storytelling, is awesome. As a PMM, this makes our job so much easier because you genuinely see the need and desire from organizations to use the products you work on.
