Hey, Skyler’s Tech Squad! 👋

Advice for Aspiring PMs ⭐️

In your day-to-day as a product manager, you will likely need to communicate with engineers and other technical folks.

As a product manager, here is the BEST way to develop your technical skills:

Participate in a hackathon. 👩🏻‍💻

A hackathon is a weekend event where you work in a team of 1-4 people to develop an impact solution to one of the given "tracks" at the hackathon.

To develop your technical acumen, learn the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then use that knowledge to build your own product in a hackathon.

In a hackathon, you can:

1. Design the wireframes and a prototype using Figma.

2. Code the structure of your web app using HTML.

3. Style the web app using CSS.

4. Make your web app functional using JavaScript.

Want to prepare even more for your PM career? Book a private coaching call with me. I’ll teach you the exact secrets that got me into Microsoft. It has worked for me and many clients who have gotten offers and interviews at Microsoft, Salesforce, Bank of America, and more!

Joke of the Week 😎

This PM joke has been generated from @levelupwithleo on Instagram’s AI Chat feature:

Product managers are like orchestra conductors – they don’t play an instrument, but they get to tell everyone else how to play theirs.

Until next week,

P.S. If you’re thinking about preparing for the recruiting season, this is your sign to get started. 🚀
