How To Build A Product Used By Millions of People

Not everyone understands this, but Product Managers are powerful people. Imagine that you're a Product Manager. You change one button on your app, it impacts the behaviour of millions of users. You launch a brand new feature for your product, it's now trending on Twitter. Essentially, with every decision you take, you wield the power to control how people interact with the virtual world. "With great power comes great responsibility." Thinking of Spider-Man? Think again - we're talking about a Product Manager's job description. And with such tremendous power comes - you guessed it - an equally tremendous paycheque. Working with Flipkart as a PM? Don't miss the chance to flaunt that you're earning a median base salary of ₹ 28 lakhs. Microsoft's your dream company? Kaching! Start making plans to spend all of that ₹ 25 lakhs you're about to make this year. Facebook has asked you to come in for an interview for a PM role in their US office? Don't be shocked when they mention the $250,000 paycheque. By the way, these numbers haven't been conjured from thin air - these are all actual salaries Product Managers have reported earning. So there's money, there's power, and there's a chance to work with the biggest companies in the whole wide world. What's missing? We'll tell you - Guidance. Product Management sounds great, but is it your calling? What happens behind the scenes in the life of a PM? Is it as rosy as we've just made it sound? The only way to know is if you get guidance from someone who is already where you want to be, and this is where we step in. We are excited to present to you Product Management 101 - a 3 day intensive workshop with the Amsterdam based Ellora Nath who is a Senior Product Manager at Booking.com.
