You can become a visible(+valuable) PM

Hey 👋

The other day, I came across this Reddit post: "My Advice on How to Be a Terrible but Valuable PM"—and it really struck a chord.

It laid out a brutally honest (and cynical) take on how some PMs get ahead without actually driving impact.

Optics> execution.

The worst part? There’s some truth to it.

I have seen PMs resenting their jobs precisely for this reason.

They come to conclude that real work hardly matters - it’s only a game of optics.

If you’ve ever felt like this be assured you’re not alone.

Product Management is one of the most nuanced roles out there.

Unlike engineers, whose code quality can be objectively measured, a PM’s success is often subjective.

Your impact isn’t always immediate, and wins are shared across teams.

It always seems that there is only micro recognition for the massive effort you put in.

So how do you navigate this?

How do you ensure your work is seen—without faking profoundness or playing politics?

In my experience, specific strategies can help PMs get the visibility that they deserve and desire.

These strategies differ based on your company size, industry, and career stage.

I wrote a detailed breakdown of these in this blog post here 👇
