a product manager's meetings explained | office vlog 👩🏻‍💻

I often get asked - what on earth do I ACTUALLY do all day as a product manager?! While every day is truly so different (in terms of the meetings I'm in and my own work), here's a detailed random day in my life as a Product Manager II at a "big tech" company. It doesn't capture every little detail (especially what I do during the meetings where I'm just listening in), and unfortunately I couldn't reveal exactly what I was doing - but I did my best to give the most detailed descriptions possible. This was an especially meeting-heavy day, once again - every day is so different it's hard to generalize. For anyone who's been wondering the question though - I truly hope this helps!

who am I?
I'm a 24 year old product manager working in tech, based out of SF. I grew up in Orange County and recently graduated across the Bay over at uc berkeley (go bEARS!) and started this channel to share more about the product management opportunity for new grads. Over time, this channel has evolved into a place for me to "share" a look into my life holistically - so you can expect tons of vlogs, trader joe's food reviews, travel content, etc.

hi everyone - it's been a minute since we've done a work vlog! excited to bring y'all along with me into the office today. help me out, what else would you all like to see or know?
disclaimer: this is just ONE day in MY life as a product manager - every day is quite different for me and I'm confident the product manager role also varies per team, product, and even company.

With all the meetings you have, how do you manage what work you need to get done? Do you ever have issues hitting deadlines?
