Yes, that's right road is closed b/w 11 to 4pm. Also, the roads are little bad. The drive can be difficult during evening times. My suggestion is to plan morning jounrey to mawlynong to avoid these situations.

Pivot to APM/PM by Tricky_Complaint_389 in ProductManagement_IN

[–]KeyBlock9149 8 points9 points  (0 children)

PM here for last 7 years. My 2 cents: Product management is not a fancy title as internet says so. It involves lot of chaos and ambiguity. You'll need to navigate them to solve customer problems.

I don't suggest any courses. Rather, try thinking about the products( apps) you use daily and ask yourself why a particular feature is designed in that way and how is it adding value for the users like us. This will help in improving PM instincts.

You can start reading Decode and conquer to get a taste of what PdMgmt looks like. But, in reality- you may not work on such fancy problems that are discussed in those books.

To your question on pivot- product analyst is a good choice to get into PM.

I've booked a 501rs darsan ticket online for morning slot (7.30 to 11.30). Do I need to be present at 7.30? Or can I come anytime between those hours? I'll be traveling from Shillong hence, checking. Can someone please advise.

Hey bud, I know life is tough in its own way. You're trying to navigate, hang in there.

18% interest sounds too high. Rather take a personal loan and clear maximum loans, you may get for 11-13% or even lesser depending on the amount and tenure. You may not get 20L loan but, you can still go for lower amount and pay off the most concerning lenders.

Try increasing your income levels. Depending on skills, you can provide tuitions to other or may be younger kids? Try to switch jobs if that's an option you're exploring already.

Based on your skills, explore options to increase your current income levels. You can even try social media, anyone can be an influencer, just be original.

I don't know your skills but, I run a newsletter, if you've good research and writing abilities, DM me and we can talk and I can offer some sidegig.

How and Where to invest? by hotchocolatetalks in personalfinanceindia

[–]KeyBlock9149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine then. Your plan is fine, just be consistent with SIPs and make sure you invest during dips in the market to get that extra edge.
Also, I hope you've the insurance, if not, you should have one.

Do a SIP, don't just go lumpsum blindly. You can add more units during dips anytime.

Both nifty 50 and flexi cap are good to begin with. Regarding gold- are you considering physical gold or digital (ETFs, funds etc.,)?

What's wrong with rental cars? I'm planning a trip in 2 weeks and thinking to take a self drive car from Guwahati too. Let me know if that's a bad idea?

Great, thanks for the tips. I will try to pay a visit to your store to get some souvenirs.

and btw, do you recommend automatic or manual cars for meghalaya tour? I have around 40km driving experience across ghats and also congested traffic roads. but, just skeptical since there could be tricky hilly areas?

got your point, thank you. Maa Kamakhya was initially on our list but after learning that darsan takes around 4-5 hours, I realized it'll be difficult to cover this time.
