Product Management - The Importance of Side Projects

Sally Kohn: I often joke that you've got about 10 different jobs and I don't, I still don't know how you do it all. But one of the things that has become very common and kind of well-known is that product management is one of those things that you can't necessarily learn everything you need to learn in a classroom or in a training session,. So having real experience working on real projects with real ideas and products is very important. And for me personally, when I really felt like it's important for me to have something beyond work, like I am definitely not the type of person who takes so much pride in my job," she says.
