We're going to talk about what folks listening can do to do their best to be in that second bucket of being rehired and kept, because there's a lot you can do.
And there's a lot of people that know they need to change and adjust and they're not doing anything.
And we want to talk about maybe some of the blockers there.
One thing I'll note is I should have mentioned this earlier.
I just did this report on job, the job market.
And interestingly, as of today, at least, we have the most open PM roles globally at tech companies in three plus years.
The last time it was this high was kind of during COVID, basically.
So there's some good news there, at least for the PM role.
I don't know.
Did that surprise you, Lenny?
Yeah, it did.
Because there's always the sense that, you know, why do we need PMs?
What's the point?
We have AI, just build stuff.
And like my sense, I've always been saying this, I feel like the PM skill is the most important, valuable skill of all the skills.
And I know every role thinks this about their role.
It's like, no, design, we sign more than anything now.
But I feel like what you said where it's,
the deciding what to build, deciding if this is good and great and ready and prioritizing.
I feel like that's what remains.
