Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why half of product managers are in trouble | Nikhyl Singhal (Meta, Google) · 19 Apr 2026 podcast

Because what if the established brands is very much working in a way that's not current?

You work there for six years, you come out and it feels like you're in a totally different world, right?

So that's why I think the next two years and these changes are so profound and quite frankly confusing to people.

Well, I was just going to say, some of those biggest brands, it's hard to even talk about what you've done.

You know, it's like, you know, if you're working in meta and you spent two years and I managed to make this, you know, piece of this algorithm, you know, go a little faster.

And by the way, it had a huge impact.

And, you know, frankly, it was incredibly hard to navigate the hallways and to make that decision and to find incrementality.

I mean, as someone who has worked there, I understand and respect that.

And that is a promotable, you know, achievement, but it just falls very flat.

on a conversation where someone's like living in the future and product is now totally different.

Right?

So that distinction is the, is the thing that I want to just call out that, Hey, that's happening every day right now.

Yeah, and in fact, maybe almost flipped upside down in terms of importance.

In some ways, we start our careers as builders, many of us, and then we get taught that leverage, scale, organizing, streamline, empowering, enabling.

Don't do the build yourself, get others to do it.

Stop working on the car, work on the factory.

That is the maturation of our industry.

And then you find out that, well, what if it turns out the scale can be done very differently and all we care about is your opinion and what you build?

That's very jarring.

And that's what we're living through right now.
