‘My Webspot’ is the brand we used — you get a 1GB of 4G data a day and then it throttles/slows down after that. For 2 people, that’s enough — though the pocket wifi itself can connect to a handful of devices at once
Things to keep in mind:
If you want to hike any of the trails below, do some research re: lotteries & permits:
I’ve been writing travel guides for a few years now via Google Docs and I always started them with the line “I’m not an expert but…” and even here on Medium, the same holds true. I’m not a travel expert.
I don’t even purport that my travel guides are the only guides that you need for your vacation. In fact, we might have different travel styles and preferences. …
Let’s face it, the era of “lifers” is over. In fact, it’s both accepted and expected that an individual will jump from one job to another multiples times in their career.
So with that in mind, it’s important to consider the underlying “why” of these moves — specifically, why are you leaving your existing company? or why are you planning to accept an offer elsewhere? — in order to take control of your journey, optimize towards your career ambitions, and avoid cruise control.
Another reason is that I’ve seen people blindly accept roles in order to run away from their…
If you’re a product manager or aspiring to become one, you’re likely familiar with take-home assignments, which are a common part of today’s application process. Take-home assignments are used to weed out applicants— they help demonstrate how you think, how you communicate, and how you work.
I’m not here to talk about what they are, but how to leverage these assignments to showcase your product sense and strategic storytelling…so let’s get on with it!
As a product manager, you must have a knack for structured thinking and the ability to synthesize complex problems into simple terms (paraphrased from a job…
Product management is a hot career for many reasons, so it goes without saying that countless professionals and new grads today are looking to break into it — maybe you are one of them.
After years in product management myself and many coffee conversations with product leaders and aspiring product managers alike (many of whom have now successfully made the leap), I’ve created a decision tree of suggested paths and a list of tips.
Despite the simple decision tree, keep in mind that transitioning into product is never this easy. …
Let’s jump right into the meat and potatoes — I’ll walk you through a scenario to illustrate one of many reasons why your product metrics should include ratios.
In Jack of All Trades, Master of One, I discussed the importance of being T-shaped — that is, an individual who has breadth of knowledge in a variety of disciplines, but depth in one. As a T-shaped product manager, you should have just enough competence in other domains to steer your team through the product development lifecycle.
But there are other situations where having a multi-disciplinary skill set is useful. In the same article, I briefly discussed how I used a hodgepodge set of tools to create mid-fi designs in the absence of design resources on our team. …
I’ve always considered myself a jack of all trades — a tech-savvy lover of the arts with an entrepreneurial spirit — but for almost just as long, I’ve also considered it a weakness. After all, the phrase goes: Jack of all trades and master of none.
After conversations with my mentor, Tom Comerford (Everyone is a Product Expert), I came to the realization that the actual flaw was in my way of thinking, not that I was a generalist.
Reframing it this way allowed me to dig into my own experiences as a product manager and bring to light situations…
