What Kind of Product Manager Am I?
Simone Barsky

A Product Management job can take many shapes and forms. Do you work B2B or B2C? Do you have 20 coworkers or 2000? Is your revenue model advertising or subscription? With so many factors, one Product job can feel completely different from another one of the same exact title.

As a Product Manager, you can find job satisfaction by identifying exactly what it is that you like about the field and where your strengths lie when looking for your next gig. This play-along, interactive talk walks you through the exact questions to ask yourself in order to figure out which Product role is right for you, so you can truly shine.

Simone Barsky is a Product Director at Discovery Inc, where she oversees a Commerce team that builds digital experiences that help over 60M unique visitors/month make purchasing decisions across Food Network, Discovery, HGTV and more. Previously, she conceived and launched dozens of apps for brands like Warner Bros, People, Sports Illustrated and AMC Networks across web, mobile, CTV and VR platforms, and co-founded viral streaming service Moodica.
