A day in the life of a Product Manager (Microsoft)

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.

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?*

[Xoltris]

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!

@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

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.

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?

[anastasiiaaverkova]

Such a cool video! I wish it was my workday. Maybe one day..

[sundayarekam]

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?

[sanguinary]

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).
