If you want to become a PO at 40 I think you’ll have to somehow find roots for if from the experience you do have. Else do you really want to start out as a junior analyst and work your way up?
My ultimate goal is to be an entrepreneur by way of product building. But I'm beginning to question if I'm fundamentally not wired for it.
Seems like everyone wants to IPO these days, until you ask them what would happen if nobody else would know about their success and they wouldn't be allowed to communicate it.
Anyways, PM roles can be great but are also not for everyone. Best thing is to try and see, same with product building.
For self-reflection I recommend the Life Design Stanford course or Self-authoring by Jordan Peterson.
