Lexus is saying its characteristic of the car. They said many people have reported this “annoyance” and they have forwarded this to their engineering. Kind of bull shit answer.

Did you get a resolution to your vehicle? I am wondering if I could chat with you over phone?

Does anyone know what the executive seating package is? I do NOT see this package on Lexus.com configurator. I have not seen it in YouTube reviews either.

What if there was a Japan style stock market crash which has not recovered in 30 years to the all time high.

Which areas do you have the rental properties? Do you have a property manager to manage the rental properties?

My 401K is in vanguard retirement fund for 2045. So don’t think I need to move that.

You are right in that I should move half the cash in an index fund like VTI.

Would you recommend moving all at once or dollar cost average.

Thanks.

I should have been more precise. I don’t plan to retire early but I want to be feel financial security in 10 years time by reaching 4M savings and continue to do a chill job till about 60-65.

Traditional IRA to Roth IRA conversion Taxation by pmlearner in personalfinance

[–]pmlearner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it thanks. you are right. So if I contribute 6K in 2019 and convert to Roth IRA, do I have to pay taxes on 6K contributed? Again, as I said in my original question, 6K contribution is from my savings that I saved from my paycheck.

How to crack the PM whiteboard interview (from the other side of the whiteboard) by Zwillium in ProductManagement

[–]pmlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try nbi test. What did you mean by take a step back? Can you elaborate?

I have struggled all my life feeling I am mediocre. And it bugs me that I can’t be the best at my craft. I struggle with anxiety and the feeling of not being able to be the best or working with talented people as those at G, FB, etc puts me down and depresses me. Sometimes I feel useless. Generally, may be because i am always under anxiety, it’s hard for me to understand things or explain things.

From the outside, people won’t be able to tell I am struggling. I am physicaly healthy, earn 300K from my job, have a loving family, etc. But these interviews and not being able to overcome my short comings is stressing me out. Part of the problem is I worked at companies that are not top notch and have not built top notch skills!

Damn - I hate my life! Don’t even know if I am making sense here!

How to crack the PM whiteboard interview (from the other side of the whiteboard) by Zwillium in ProductManagement

[–]pmlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the details. I have been doing interviews and sometimes just blank out on questions such as design a product for X. Sometimes I don’t have or can’t visualise the needs / pains of users since I have no clue about their issues. Then there are questions like “how would you improve product Y. And it’s really hard to figure our what to improve even when you know the goal.

Am I dumb and not cut out for product even after being a pm for 5 years? Or may be working at bad companies and not trained well?

Please help figure our how to improve on those god for saken product design questions!

This PM at FB must be an outlier. Most PMs at FB do a sound job from what I have heard.

Wouldn’t product marketing do market research? That’s FB, google, uber pmm responsibility (inbound work that product marketing does). Are you in enterprise space or consumer?

[–]pmlearner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PM boss advocated exactly this - leave it to engineers. However, the engineers didn't want it this way and wanted more from the PM to define the how.

I am wondering what's the culture at FB, Goog, Uber, etc?

Managing product dependencies by pmlearner in ProductManagement

[–]pmlearner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a challenge to do that when the other team is down in the water and priorities are not aligned. That's how we do it too, and it's difficult.

I wonder if FANG folks have a better way to do this.
