On October 26th, 2016, I posted to Medium my thoughts and challenges switching from growth hacking to product management. The post had more success than I could have expected so I thought I’d finally link to it from on my own blog. Here’s a preview:

After 4 years of doing growth hacking, I recently made the switch to full-time product management by joining both the Firefox Sync and Accounts teams.
As a reminder, growth is a combination of product and marketing so I thought “hey, this is going to be a breeze.”
