Loved reading this! I’m currently a rising senior at my university and I’m interested in becoming a PM; but I haven’t had any luck with landing a related internship role. I’ll be trickling into a higher leadership role in my club organization on campus next semester and this inspires me to put my skills to use and come up with a creative product that’ll help us with our retention rate (a big problem we’ve been running into that kinda keeps me up at night lol). Thank you for this! 🌟

Yes! Wait, tell me about this product when you start working on it. I love hearing about products that help the community. Retention is a difficult problem for a lot of clubs tbh, and sometimes the solution isn't even tech related. Super excited to see what you build :D

Hi Angelo! So wonderful to read this on a Saturday morning! Now you've inspired me to write about my own PM journey. Really... you've truly inspired me to become a PM after I discovered you. Right now, people have also been asking me about how I broke into the field. Excited to share sometime!! Thank you for writing this!! Some of what you've shared is almost quite similar to my college experience (especially about the leadership/student org stuff).

Ahh I'm so excited to hang with you soon! Yes, can't wait to hear about your PM journey when you decide to write about it, I'm sure it'll be very useful for many aspiring PMs :)

Of course, happy to share my experience! You're right, you don't need to hold different job titles or certain positions, being able to gain experience that grow your PM skills is what really counts. Also careful, Project Managers and Product Managers sound similar but are two different roles.
