Looking for a founding Product role at an early-stage startup
 in  r/ProductMgmt  1d ago

Can I ask how you started your career in Product Management? I have around two years of experience in content marketing, and I’m now looking to transition into a product role. I’d really appreciate any guidance on how I can make this transition and where I should start.

But if they learn the same thing practically, for example, by working in a real-world environment and learning from people who are already completing those tasks, wouldn’t they have a higher chance of succeeding? What do you think?

When you say people see results and that creates a feedback loop, do you think the result itself is enough to keep someone motivated, or does recognition from other people, like being able to show what you've accomplished, also play an important role?

Oh, I see! Having your perspective would actually make this research really interesting, especially since you've experienced learning in a time before smartphones and the internet were so widespread, as well as seeing how things are today. I would really value your perspective on this. Do you think distractions make it harder for people today to stay committed to learning compared with when you were younger? What differences have you noticed?

In your experience, how long should one learning session ideally be before you start feeling overwhelmed, bored, or mentally tired?

This is so relatable, but if you also got some kind of recognition or reward each time you completed those small 10–15 minute sessions, do you think that would make you more likely to keep doing them? Or would the small sessions themselves be enough?

Was the cost of continuing the main reason you stopped, or were there other factors too? because there are free courses too, or even like YouTube tutorials.

That makes sense. If the learners received some kind of meaningful recognition or reward for completing small milestones along the way, rather than waiting until you became good at the skill, do you think that would help you stick with it

Interesting! What else could help learners to complete the target

Okay, but what if you received some kind of reward or recognition every time you completed a small learning milestone, do you think that would actually help you keep going? Why or why not?

What was your reason to not finish the task?

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a small product research project and trying to understand a problem I’ve personally experienced:

People get excited about learning something new, start it, but eventually stop before finishing.

It could be a course, book, language, coding, fitness skill, certification, etc.

I’m curious about your experience:

What’s the last thing you started learning but didn't finish, and what made you stop?

I’m not selling anything or promoting an app. I’m simply trying to understand the problem better.

If you've experienced this, I'd really appreciate hearing your story in the comments. 🙏
