Article: The Rise of Vibe Coding — and What It Means for PMs
👀 What if you could turn your ideas into reality — just by describing them?
Vibe coding is changing how products are built. Instead of writing code, builders prompt AI to generate, refine, and iterate — making it faster to prototype, test, and learn.
💡Dive into the article to explore why vibe coding is emerging now, how it’s reshaping the way PMs work, and how students can build, test, and iterate on their own ideas using it.

Welcome to our new series: “Product Crossroads.” ⚖️
In this series, we break down real product decisions — the context, trade-offs, and outcomes — to make product thinking more tangible and transferable.
Today’s Feature: PM in a Startup 💼
Early-stage products move fast — and not every problem should be solved by building something new.
The Trade-Off: Build vs Fix 🧱
It’s tempting to ship new features when users ask for them.
But strong PMs pause to ask:
Is this a feature gap, or a problem in what already exists?
In this case, the decision wasn’t just about speed —
it was about whether building more would actually solve the problem.
✨ Key takeaway:
🙅♀️ Don’t default to building.
📋 Start by understanding what truly matters.
⭐️ Follow us for more real-world scenarios on how to apply Product Thinking!

Welcome back to our series: “How to Break into PM.” 🚀
Today’s topic: Possible Entry Paths into Product Management
You might be wondering: “Do I need to start as a PM to become one?”
The short answer: no.
In reality, most PMs don’t start in PM. They transition from adjacent roles such as business analyst, product operation, product analyst, growth marketer, project manager, etc.
Each of these paths builds a different set of skills — from problem structuring and process optimisation to data analysis and user understanding.
💡Key Takeaway:
The key is the skills you build — not the job title

We're back with another real product decision. 🗺️
Product Crossroads #2 features a PM navigating something textbooks don't prepare you for: making product calls 10,000km from home.
Today's Feature: PM in NOC Munich 🇩🇪
Being embedded abroad through NOC means you're the only person on your team who truly sees what's in front of you.
The Trade-Off: Back Yourself vs. Read the Room 🧭
When you're new to a market, it's tempting to defer to everyone around you.
But strong PMs learn to ask:
Is this a knowledge gap or am I discounting my own perspective too quickly?
In this case, the tension wasn't just about the product. It was about learning to trust your instincts in an unfamiliar room.
✨ Key takeaway:
🌍 Your outsider perspective is data, learn to use it.
🔍 Not knowing the room is a research opportunity, not a disadvantage.

Product Crossroads #3 features a PM navigating something every PM at a large company will face: when the "right" fix isn't always the obvious priority.
Today's Feature: PM at an MNC 🏢
Big companies move with structure. Pipelines are planned, resources are allocated, and stakeholders have expectations.
So what happens when you spot a problem that wasn't on anyone's radar?
The Trade-Off: Fix v. Stick 🛠️
It's easy to keep moving when the roadmap is already set.
But strong PMs pause to ask: Are we skipping this because it's not important, or because it's not easy to justify?
✨ Key takeaway:
📊 Let the data fight your battles.
🙋 Advocate for the user, even when the pipeline says otherwise.

Welcome to our series: Startups VS Big Tech 🚀
In this series, we break down the difference between PM roles in Startups vs Big Tech for students — from the skills to build, to interview prep, and the roles you can explore.
Today’s topic: What do PMs actually do?
Breaking into PM isn’t one fixed path.
Where you work shapes how you think and grow as a PM.
🔶 Startups
Focus on understanding user problems, defining what to build, and testing ideas quickly. You’ll work on 0→1 products, wear multiple hats, and learn fast.
🔷 Big Companies
Focus on data, optimization, and scaling products. You’ll analyze metrics, align stakeholders, and improve existing systems.
Both paths build valuable but different skillsets:
⚡ Startups → product intuition, ownership, experimentation
📊 Big Tech → analytics, structured thinking, operational excellence
✨ There’s no “better” path — only what fits your goals.

🎯 Interviews focus on:
- Vision
- Problem-solving
- Creativity
🔷 Big Companies
You’ll focus on data, improving systems, and scaling products.
🎯 Interviews focus on:
- Metrics thinking

Welcome to our series: Startups VS Big Tech 🚀
In this series, we break down the difference between PM roles in Startups vs Big Tech for students — from the skills to build, to interview prep, and the roles you can explore.
Today’s topic: How does each path shape your career?
Where you start as a PM shapes how you think, grow, and the opportunities you unlock later on.
🔶 Startups
You’ll develop a broader product vision and an entrepreneurial mindset.
➡️ Common outcomes:
- Founder / startup builder
- Early-stage product leader
- Generalist PM with strong ownership
🔷 Big Companies
You’ll build strong analytical skills and operational expertise.
➡️ Common outcomes:
- Senior PM / Product Lead
- Specialist roles (growth, platform, data)
- Leadership in large-scale products
Many PMs move between both paths — combining the best of both worlds. ✨ There’s no “perfect” path — only the one that aligns with your goals.
