What working in Product Management REALLY looks like! Working in PM at a large Tech company like Microsoft can be different from what some people may expect. I'm taking you into what a day in my life really looks like as a Senior Product Manager.
Curious about what a day in the life of a PM looks like? Here's a breakdown of my day-to-day as a Product Manager at Microsoft in a mixed environment with some people working from home and others going to the office. Hope you enjoy!

💻 About me 💻
I'm a Senior Product Manager by day and content creator whenever I have a few minutes in the morning, day or night to spare! I have experience working in Product Management at Microsoft in AI & Machine Learning, as well as Cisco in Wireless Technologies. I'm originally from Mexico City and I moved to the U.S. in 2015 to study my MBA at Duke University. I discovered Product Management when I started Business School and since then, it has been my mission and my passion to help others break into this role!

Thanks for the videos, Diego. I've been at MSFT for ~6 years and am looking to transition into a PM role soon and have started applying for roles that interest me. I ran across your content while trying to prepare/research the role and it's been helpful.
Go for it! Keep me posted on how your journey goes!
@@PMDiegoGranados Thanks, will do. I've shot out quite a few emails thus far after applying to several different positions but no bites. I'm going to keep doing my due diligence so when someone does bite, I'm prepared. Thanks again!
Really enjoyed this video! Always love 'Day in the Life of..' videos!
PM really looks awesome if working in the right environment that truly love innovating and solving customer's problem... but one question now lies is *how do you choose the industry of interest?*
Awesome, love your content. Thanks
Great Diego thanks x sharing..

Hey Diego, I would love to connect with you personally to discuss a possible collab for a CZcams video, please let me know a good place to connect.
@SHIVA SAI absolutely! Check out all the resources I have for you here: bio.link/pmdiego
I will continue studying to one day live like this🧠🔥🔥
@PMDiegoGranados Hello Diego. Love watching your Videos. What is your advice for someone that is a PO right now and wanting to transition. What tools, applications should a PO focus on to go to that next step
I'm glad I found your channel! I'll be doing a Microsoft PM Intern interview in a few weeks and your videos look like great resources to help me prepare!
How long did it took for recruiter to reach you after applying ?
Best of luck Dylan!! Check out this playlist to help you with your interview 😊 I know the "Tell me about yourself" and "Framework for product case questions" have helped many others crush the Microsoft PM Interview! czcams.com/play/PLcMv0LrPMqFUjPzGYFyquwxbkMyx81GGD.html
@@PMDiegoGranados Thank you for this!
@@nosifali9254 I think it was around 2 weeks after applying, and it won't happen for another 3 weeks
@@PMDiegoGranados I had the interview and think it went well! Thanks for the great videos, they helped a ton!
Thanks for the post. What did u major in at college? Do you think the major made much of a difference as to whether or not you were gonna get the job? Prior tech experience?
Hi Mason! Check out my story here 😊 let me know what you think:

Such a cool video! I wish it was my workday. Maybe one day..
Thank You so much sir ❤️
Hello Sir, could you please let me know how is it like to be PM at Microsoft ? Do we need tech background ? I was just wondering if I could reach out to you for some help. I am right now doing mba and aim is Microsoft
Hi Santosh! I really enjoy what I do! Here's a bit of my work: czcams.com/video/rP44J4Aw7VU/video.html
And no, you do not need Tech background 😊 Check this interview from another MBA that came to Microsoft a couple years ago: czcams.com/video/jdW5kDQksZo/video.html
@PMDiegoGranados Laptop???
Hey Diego thank you so much for your videos they've been really insightful on PM. I have an interview coming up with MSFT as a PM. I will check out your playlist to prepare but also I had 2 questions about the role. What are the hours like? and How can someone like me who is an Accounting major make an impact as a PM? If I am successful in getting to this PM role I dont want to feel like my Accounting degree will go to waste (if that makes sense).
Thank you @Sanguinary! Definitely check out this playlist to get you ready for your interview: czcams.com/play/PLcMv0LrPMqFUjPzGYFyquwxbkMyx81GGD.html
About work/life balance: Honestly, it's awesome. Sure, as a PM sometimes you have to work late, sometimes you work on weekends (VERY RARE at MSFT), but most of the time... and depending on the team... can be a 8:30 to 5:30~6:00 job. In my opinion, pretty good.
Also, the culture is amazing :)
About Accounting: The beauty of a job like PM is that your unique experience brings A TON of value to the team. You'll be working with a lot of incredibly smart people, and your experience in accounting will bring a fresh, new, different perspective that can certainly benefit customers. Besides, while I'm certainly not an expert in accounting, I'm sure there are products at Microsoft to which you can contribute a lot to with that expertise ;)
Let me know if this helps and please keep me posted on how your interview goes!
Did you got the job?

Microsoft's office and Seattle!
Hi Diego. Your videos are life changing and career growth provoking. Please I just finished presenting my roadmap for next year. The Engineering VP has a lot of feedback that the plan doesn’t make sense given the current state of the product. What do I do? What negotiation tips and strategy should I use?
Hi Arekam, thanks for asking! Well, start by understanding the WHY? WHY doesn't it make sense to them? Did you provide enough evidence to support your backlog? If yes, then try to understand one level deeper WHY they are sharing that feedback
@@PMDiegoGranados Thank you Diego for your response. It was helpful. Is it okay if I could connect with you often via LinkedIn.
Super cute video Diego, keep it up. Loved the music.
Thank you @Aakash! I’m glad you liked it!
This is a good one! Beautiful day in Seattle.
Indeed it was @Abel! Summer is amazing here!
How easy isit to email the ceo of microsoft from where you stand ?
Well, 🤔 I would say that emailing Satya is very easy, in fact, probably anyone can do a search online to find his email…
Now, getting a response is probably the hard part 😂 who knows if my email might directly go into his “spam” folder
Thank you for that
Hi Diego
I've 5 years of work ex at SAP (including entrepreneurship sabbatical to Singapore- under a VC firm) and have joined MS CS recently.. Love to get into PM. Any advice on how to approach ? I hardly know of anyone from MS getting into PM
Nevertheless, like the strides MS is making in Azure and Mixed Reality
This is a cool one, Diego!
Thank you!!
SO COOL Diego!!
Thank you, @Jade! I’m glad that you liked it! 😊
Hola Diego, do you think an Introvert person can become a Product Manager? I am not comfortable interact with a lot of people simultaneously, just 1 person at the time.
Check this out! Hear it from a rockstar introvert PM! 😉 czcams.com/video/BLAhx_2Dyew/video.html
Microsoft's office is beautiful!
It is, @Spencer! and I'm uploading to my instagram a few other places around campus that didn't make it into the video here 😊
This is nice!
Muy padre el video, is this coffee machine powered by IE was hilarious!
Gracias, Jesús! Efectivamente… así de lenta es la máquina jajaja
El video esta genial, pero esa parte en especial me ha sacado una sonrisa :)
Wonderful
Oh man bubble blaster arcade cabinet. Don't even tempt me my guy
And every building has a different arcade cabinet! It's fun for a quick break 😄
@@PMDiegoGranados I've always considered applying for Microsoft but I lack the papers one would need. Keeping the high score on every cabinet in campus sounds like a good motivator though
Nice how was that macaroni it looked absolutely fire
It definitely was! One of my favorite places in Seattle!
@@PMDiegoGranados can’t wait to try it. I’ll be starting there this June as a PM!
5 on dinners?? Which country is this?
5 pm
Crazy how empty it looks compared to now
3:00 Hahahahha
