Frameworks are a great tool, but that doesn't mean you must always simply accept them as unquestionable fact: "The most successful teams mix and match many frameworks and models—and invent many frameworks and models—to do great work" - @johncutlefish cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-5452-tha…

It's almost 2023 🤯 If you're an early-stage (0-5 years of experience) PM who has extra cash you need to spend before the end of the year as part of your educational stipend... I'd love to support your career development by working with you 1:1 as your product career coach:

Fun fact: Many companies have L&D stipends for employees to invest in courses, books, conferences, etc. Almost 50% of @MavenHQ students get their courses reimbursed. But these budgets usually expire on Dec 31. Here's how to get reimbursed (and what to say to your manager):

it is very important to me that more people know that david hasselhoff is hugely popular in austria & germany, for knight rider + for SINGING. he still performs here & everyone knows his songs. it is wild. i swear when i moved to vienna this was the biggest culture shock of all!

i just saw another poster for his upcoming concert so i had to take this break from my regular product programming to share my ongoing incredulity at this incredible situation.

@epatt6 Good point. There are definitely benefits to reading product books early on (figure out if you’re interested in the work! get a sense of what the role can look like! build foundations!) but they’re def not prescriptive in a "read this and then get a job doing it" kind of way.

So, if you are looking to spend your L&D budget, or you're just interested in taking an awesome course or reading a great book, take a look at any and all of the above and you can't go wrong 🚀 What other resources would recommend to those in tech as the year winds down?

It's that time of year: the scramble to make (good) use of your L&D/education budget before it's too late! If you're in #prodmgmt, eng, UX, mktg: here are a few courses & books I recommend, from @molly_hellmuth @gibsonbiddle @manualwise @KarlLHughes @MengTo @cagan @LisaZane15
