Work getting political isn't new, but surviving it without derailing your career has never been more challenging. As organizations flatten and restructures accelerate, the instincts that used to work — push back, demand clarity, make noise — often backfire. In this episode, we answer five questions from people caught in reorgs, managing-up dynamics, and situations where the "obvious" move turns out to be the wrong one.

Key topics

• What to do when leadership goes dark, and you can't tell if a reorg is coming

• The stay-vs-go framework: when brand matters, when comp overrides it, and why short tenures are more common than most people think

• The one question that puts your manager in an impossible position

• How to navigate an underperforming direct manager

• Why acting before a restructure is announced gives you a head start

• How to build the relationships you'll need on a rainy day before you actually need them

• What happens when VP sponsorship and calibration approval still aren't enough to get promoted

• How to start fresh on a new team when you're leaving a dysfunctional one behind

• The five-point playbook for navigating office politics without getting swept into them

Most of the conversation about rebuilding product management comes from two ends of the spectrum: AI-first startups with 30 people and no real installed base, or big tech with thousands of PMs and decades of process. This episode is about the third category: companies that went public in the last few years, have real customers and revenue to protect, and are now trying to move like startups again. The CPOs of Hims & Hers, Rubrik, and Figma joined me to discuss what that actually looks like. Several of their findings directly contradict the advice you'd get from either end of the spectrum.

Key topics

• Why going public doesn't mean replacing your PM team with "business people"

• Why AI makes PM workload explode, not shrink

• What happens when engineering is no longer the bottleneck

• The skill Figma values most at scale (and why speed is the wrong thing to optimize for)

• Whether the IPO date is a real line in the sand—and why Yuhki and Anneka land in different places

• Why AI adoption at post-IPO companies requires the CPO to go first

• How Anneka wrote her team's Claude Code onboarding guide, opened the GitHub repos, and built a triage agent between meetings

• Why Dheerja joined Hims & Hers as the "AI Queen"

• Dheerja’s three-part AI framework she’s executing on

• Why Yuhki hired AI veterans first—then immediately hired people with no AI background at all

• The case against take-homes (and Anneka's idea for what should replace them)

• What a blank canvas reveals about a PM candidate that no case study or behavioral question can

• Why every PM is about to become a manager of agents

• How to talk to your team when the stock is down and you haven't announced anything new

• Why Figma deprecated annual planning—and what Yuhki thinks will become core PM work within a year

Most job search advice comes from people still in the thick of it—anxious, second-guessing, pattern-matching off too little data. This episode is different. We sat down with three product leaders who recently landed roles at Netflix, OpenAI, and Abridge, and did a full postmortem. What they shared upends a lot of conventional wisdom: the spray-and-pray pipeline doesn't work, your AI credentials matter less than you think, and the relationships that land jobs are often years in the making.

Key topics

• Why you need curiosity, not experience

• The "AI hungry" mindset: searching for environments that match your learning goals, not just your resume

• Why the best job search intelligence comes from people who just landed, not people still looking

• Why prototypes are now table stakes in take-homes

• How Janie built a shortlist of 5–10 companies in a week of 50–60 conversations

• Why Ben's Netflix role traces back to a cold application seven years ago

• What OpenAI's interview process actually looks like—and why it's less about the past than you expect

• Why most AI-native jobs aren't posted, and how to land them

• How to use investor attention as a proxy for company quality

• Why Ben's early interview mistake (not enough AI mindset) became the fuel for his take-home

It's promo season, and I've gotten roughly 1000 questions through nikhyl.ai—the pattern is unmistakable: people aren't just asking how to get promoted, they're asking whether the system is broken and whether they should quit over it. In this episode, we dissect five real questions from PMs who've been passed over. What becomes clear is the mistakes aren't in execution—they're in how people think about promotions in the first place. The tough reality is promotions are harder to get in this market. The question isn't whether you'll get promoted. It's how you respond when you don't.

Key topics

• Why promotions are harder now—and why that's not dysfunction

• The five-point framework for what to do when you don't get promoted

• The self-fulfilling prophecy that derails your career

• The one question that changes everything when you're passed over

• Why treating promotion as a game to win backfires

• The Peter Principle: why companies make you prove it before they promote you

• When "my career has flatlined" actually means you've hit the expected difficulty curve

• Why the skills that got you here won't get you there

• Why leadership might not be your destination—and that's okay

• The feedback gap: why your manager says you're great but leadership won't promote you

• Why leaving gas in the tank puts your career at risk

• Why you work for the company, not your manager

• What to do when your skip starts building a case against you

The "join a hot company" narrative gets even more complicated once you enter the AI-native part of the market. In Part 3 of our PM Career Framework for AI series, we close out with the doors everyone's obsessing over: AI labs, hot AI startups, ex-growth companies, and founding.

We unpack what these companies actually look for (spoiler: it's not "AI experience"), why hands-on builders win over managers, how location and pace become make-or-break constraints, and how to think about risk and chaos when the upside is real.

If you're trying to figure out whether you should stay put in 2026, or make the leap into the AI frontier, this episode breaks down the tradeoffs.

Key topics

• What AI labs are really hiring for (and why "productized research" is the core skill)

• Why AI labs want radically hands-on PMs, not managers

• Why Big Tech experience can become "inside-the-building skills" that don't translate

• Which companies expect 9-9-6 culture, and the self-selection problem it creates

• Why some struggling-company VP roles are still worth taking

• When equity becomes a psychological trap (and when to cut losses)

• Why remote leadership roles are rapidly disappearing

• The founder litmus test: why it's an emotional decision, not a spreadsheet decision

• The upside of founding even when it fails: the career story compounding effect

The “join a hot company” career narrative is getting a lot of PMs into trouble. In Part 2 of our PM Career Framework for AI series, we get practical: how to pick the door that fits you — and spot when a prestigious logo is quietly costing you career momentum. We break down nearly 600 listener questions, then map the first set of doors, from Big Tech and public enterprise to the “quality middle” of elite private companies and recent IPOs.

Key topics

• The “doors” framework: building a personal stack rank

• Golden handcuffs: when staying in Big Tech is rational

• Why L7+ doesn’t translate to startups or AI labs

• The “step down” that’s actually a level up

• How to know if you’re a fit for AI-native companies

• Debunking the myth of “coasting” in Big Tech

• Why APM programs can be the fastest way to learn the craft

• The stay/leave test: can you produce a career story?

• Who is suited to public enterprise tech

• The “quality middle” sweet spot

What’s next (Part 3):

Next episode, we assess the doors everyone’s obsessing over: AI labs (OpenAI / Anthropic), hot AI startups, ex-growth mid-stage companies, and founding. We will also cover why the rules change dramatically once you move into the AI-native part of the market.

The old PM career playbook doesn’t work in the AI era. In this episode of The Skip, we lay out a new career framework for product managers, and it’s a lot more “choose your door” than “climb the ladder.” If you’re wondering whether to stay in big tech, jump to an AI startup, double down as a builder, or rethink your whole path, this one’s for you. We talk about why your hard-won product intuition is quietly becoming obsolete, why some ex-VPs are happily taking senior IC roles, and how to prepare for what’s coming next.

Key topics

• Why your product intuition is outdated — and how to “go back to school” without quitting your job

• Why company quality now matters more than your title, comp band, or level

• What elite AI companies are actually looking for in PMs

• The builder vs factory mindset: are you obsessed with the product, or with the machine that ships it?

• How to choose between Big Tech, hot AI startups, healthy growth companies, or founding

• A three-part reality check on constraints: compensation, location, and pace

• The truth about 9–9–6 and AI startups: when extreme pace is worth it, and when it’s just branding

• Why “coasting” in big tech is mostly a myth

• Remote vs hub tradeoffs: what you gain and lose by moving to SF or NYC

• Why this is Part 1 — and what we’ll go deeper on next in the PM Career Framework for AI series

Career ladders aren't just changing—they're being demolished and rebuilt in real-time. In this emergency "weather report," Carly and I decode four career dilemmas that have completely flipped in the last six months. We explain why directors are taking IC roles (and thriving), why your Big Tech salary might be a golden trap, when to finally leave that stalled growth company, and why founding is suddenly on everyone's radar. If you're making any career move in 2025, your old playbook will hurt more than help.

The New Career Math:

• Why senior IC roles now trump management positions—and when stepping down is stepping up

• The Big Tech paradox: 3x market comp but career stagnation (what's your breaking point?)

• Ex-growth company reality: Why staying another month makes things worse

• The founding surge: Why 8x more product leaders are starting companies

What's Actually Happening:

• How AI and flat orgs killed the traditional ladder (and what replaced it)

• What elite companies want now: hands-on builders, not ivory tower managers

• The talent gravity effect: Why your coworkers matter more than your title

• The "elite middle" strategy: Which companies offer both growth and stability

Your Action Plan:

• How to evaluate if you're becoming obsolete (and what to do about it)

• The unnatural acts worth taking (hint: it involves a pay cut)

• Six-month forecast: Where the opportunities will be and who will win
