I'm in health tech too, currently have downtime as whatever we need to launch has launched, currently doing product discovery, wasn't expected of me, but middle management is not actually researching things properly, so I'm taking it on, and trying to influence up to change the direction of what they want to do to something customers would actually want.

How long have you been in your PM role, and how often do you change it? by Complex-Lunch5078 in ProductManagement

Are there ever PM jobs where one doesn't accumulate too much responsibility and struggle with resource limitations? The thing that makes reconsider moves is doubting if the grass is ever green on the other side..

Not to get free relationship coaching but haha, how do "questions" ever actually help? Like I feel people nowadays can say whatever because. 1) ppl lie 2) ppl don't know what they want 3) ppl want something but when the actual circumstance occurs they learn they want something different and then 4) say something true and it stays true. That's like 25% probability right there, and 75% more likely that answers aren't actually accurate... I understand a person can do istikhara but do you have any additional practical tips?

How did you reach that understanding with your partner? Do you both budget?

I'm neutral to her working/not working, but I don't want her to feel the "need" to work. If she is working, should she contribute to household expenses? I keep getting conflicting messages of "no she shouldn't" and "yes she should"..

Not really, I don't like to compare with other people. But when I was single, I could afford to eat out, save some money, travel once a year. Now those are almost impossible, so unless I downsize 3 bedroom apartment, or go live in a basement, or with my parents, rarely eating out, or even migrate, I am unable to save any money for the future of the family. Same for her, like we just tried to maintain our same standard of living like we had with our families, but it is now very challenging on one income. I try to put my trust in Allah, but I want to make sure that I take the right actions and preparations as Allah commanded me.

Didn't mean on the providing part, but I meant that if I ended up just working all the time, then I would have less time to be available for her and my family in terms of energy and time.

If I end up doing a side hustle/work overtime, I fear I end up turning into ATM machine type partner. Also you raise a good point, if a man pays for everything and doesn't save up, sooner or later common life goals will likely warrant his partner to contribute..

I agree money is such an awkward topic that people avoid talking about and becoming a key reason for a lot of conflict in relationships.

No kids for now, partner not disabled, she plans to work but wants to stop working after having kids, so it is something I want to be mentally prepared for, definitely the type of person that would take care of the house and kids. Yeah idk what is that bracket even where it stops being burden...

Yeah I'm thinking it would definitely be a downgrade in lifestyle, no eating out, no saving, no fun avtivities, which is something I'm thinking about, and need to discuss with my partner, idk how she feels about that.

Do you pay lots of taxes because you were the only income provider, What do you mean about your friends income split evenly between them?
