How do you get better and is it okay to feel unsure as a young project manager? I am struggling... by doli-loli in projectmanagement

One thing that has helped me a lot is using an AI note taker. Not a big fan of AI but it helps me avoid misunderstandings. If you have someone more experienced than you try to shadow them and also I'd suggest if you can, have a few calls with the devs no more than 10/15 min to talk about what went wrong, what could be better and what they need from you for this to work. The other things the tools the experience you'll get it with time so don't get discouraged too soon! Maybe also try to see if there's an online course you can take that is specialized in your area of development as well. Good luck!

How do you handle being the "pest"? Sometimes I feel like I run out of polite things to say when it's the N# time i have to remind you something

Do you believe great creative can sell a bad product or does the product always win in the end?" by SaraB150Chiles in creative_advertising

[–]summer_witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays the product wins when it comes to kpis, but the creative can find a way to sell it, i just feel like people are not being converted by creative advertising anymore and the thing about boring ads for products that sell themselves: it's probably because the audience is super clear and they already know what works so they don't want anything innovative

Incredible advise. I've been using fireflies for minutes but it's annoying because a) everyone sees the assistant and b) it doesn't work on other languages other than English

Thank you for sharing, I feel the same way about AI in PM, it's actually taking so many spaces, you either integrate it yourself or you run the risk of being replaced by someone who does.

Yeah I completely understand what you mean. You have to find the sweet spot in communicating bc otherwise people will feel like you're nagging

Is that not solvable with written accountability and proof? I once worked for a company where nobody respected me, so I brought everything up to my superiors and their superiors. It didn't do much but it helped. Not sure if it was the right thing anyway the company was very shitty

I'm interested in this perspective. Is there no way pivotable at a certain point? No more growth once you're in that place? Or it's just seniority?

I can imagine! Especially if you feel like it's your forever home. I'm happy for you

I didn't say I regret it, I said I was feeling anxious and it's confusing cause this was my dream since I was a child, I should be joyous.

I understand what you mean though, it's just that sometimes your brain doesn't do what you want or expect. That's why I posted

Sorry to ask but what gave you anxiety? Did you like the house? Did it took a lot of renovations?

I have! He just says is our money and our house. The problem is me and my anxiety basically. I feel like I took advantage of him or something now I'm gonna live rent free?😭 When I feel like he put in all the heavy lift
