I am a “product manager” and my job is to technically build things. But, then you add a huge asterisk to it. I think the image which most people conjure up when they think about product managers is someone who is “telling engineers what to work on.”

The reality of being a Product Manager can be more accurately described as, “help your team (and by extension, your company)** make the best decision possible**, while not ruining anyone’s life.”

Sounds fun? It is and in my completely unbiased opinion, it is one of the most interesting jobs in technology today.
