I was hired into my current company as a product manager. It turns out that the PM function here is basically a stub - the CEO decides which products make it out the door. So I have plenty of extra time to brush up on other skillls.<p>30% building little web apps to help our sales team:
-- Rails, Angular, Scrapy, the occasional API. Nothing enterprise-grade.<p>30% basic data science
-- b/c nobody else can parse our awful SAP UI. Not "big" data. Python, R, Ruby, CSVkit.<p>20% product marketing basics.
-- channel support, collateral design/handoff, blog updates.<p>20% product management basics.
-- product defs, roadmaps, catalog management.<p>Calling myself a "product manager" doesn't feel right, because the level of responsibility isn't what it should be. Calling myself a "developer" or "data scientist" certainly doesn't feel right either. Call it a big-time case of imposter syndrome.<p>I'm asking because I'm in the midst of a job hunt. Can y'all suggest a different job title?<p>No snark please, and thanks.
