Twitter is an invaluable resource for product people, much better than LinkedIn content.

Use it, and tell your PM friends to use it too.

But whom to follow?

I’m a fan of product/UI/strategy teardowns as a way to "learn-by-doing".

One teardowns resource I’ve recommended for a while is http://useronboard.com"> http://useronboard.com 

There are a few out there (fellow PMs, please share more teardown resources below).

Lastly:

Be sure you want to be a PM. It’s a great role. I love it.

But PM isn’t the “step up” that ppl think it is.

There are other paths to success.

So choose it for the right reasons & be open to cutting your losses if you find out it isn’t for you

All the best!

Most of my regular content is for senior product folks & leaders, though I get a lot of pings from early career folks, so I& #39;m glad folks are finding this thread useful.

Some really great resources being shared by others here. Do take a look at them.

A few additional footnotes:
Important to understand what Prod Mgmt is really. It isn& #39;t uncommon for people to spend years as a PM without understanding the essence of the role, what PM success looks like, and the main skills & mindsets. Better to understand these fundamentals early. https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1254064006412656640">https://twitter.com/shreyas/s...
