Best

Anyone who is aspiring to be a PM should read this book!

Very good book for those who want to start their career in product management. A very detailed explanation is provided.

The book looks like is printed from a converted epub file. The size of the fonts are so small that it is really really hard to read.

The text size is too small. It strains my eyes if I have to read for more than 10 minutes. It is ironic that a book about PM career has such a bad user experience.

I have been considering transitioning to Product Management from my Finance field and had been researching materials I could read to help with this transition. I got some recommendations about this book and so got it. I have found the content helpful as a good start. If you are like me trying to transition, you will find this helpful. I believe it could be helpful as a refresher for those already in the field!

Very interesting book

I started as software engineer out of college where I have great ambition but no direction in the software tech industry. Gayle McDowell's book serves as a torch guiding the unknown path for me. By reading her books i can start seeing more clearly what is around me (where i am standing) as well as a grand passage of what the journey looks like down the road and how to improve myself in order to progress forward. "Cracking the PM Career" is just an amazing resource work done by Jackie Bavaro and Gayle Laakmann McDowell I have been in industry for 15 years now (SWE converted Product Manager), while i have accumulate knowledge & scars along the way as a Product Manager Lead at Meta. I find it still incredibly helpful to read their books to fill my gaps and extend well-rounded knowledge. The latest publish shares a lot great knowledge that will help you to be a even greater product manager. I strongly recommend this book to others wether you are an aspiring PM or already a PM, or PM Leader to refine yourself throughout reading!

I am so glad that Jackie and Gayle published this book after the great success of "cracking the pm interview". This new book is amazingly pragmatic, super hands on and translatable into every day life. What I really love is that they cover skills concerning 1) product, 2) execution, 3) strategy, 4) leadership, 5) people management. Followed by chapters around career and a product leader Q&A. They really work out how the skills of chapter 1-3 evolve with a PMs career path. The book has over 500 pages packed with insights, with aha moments and really the essence of product management. I am a pretty experienced product leader, however this centres me and takes me out of habits and back to growth trajectory. This book can be read and is valuable to PMs of all career stages.

I have been reading many books on product management already and this one is by far the most actionable and helpful. The authors really managed to touch everything that makes up product management (and even go beyond) without ever becoming too general and vague. This will be my first recommendation for aspiring Product Managers and Product Leaders. I’m sure I’ll frequently be referring back to it.
