Tal Raviv: belief

Transcript context

…Yeah. Okay, amazing. Really helpful. We've talked about this idea of super ICs, and as you mentioned, there's this been rise of and shift of flattening of orgs, as you said, of people hiring more senior product managers, there's a sense of that, and companies are expecting more of PMs just doing the work, not managing their PMs. And I feel like you're such an interesting prototypical example of the PMs people want to hire.

Zuckerberg talked about the flattening, and I've seen here at Riverside during that same time founders talking about how they're just really looking for, "Can we just find some really, really senior experienced people who want to stay hands-on? That would be the dream, right?" I also have heard from friends in the market, the hiring market, that there's just a lot more experienced people competing for the same IC roles as a result of all that. So I think the result of that is being at 10x PM for example is becoming more and more table stakes, especially like you mentioned with AI. That's just the tailwind for all of that. And we don't have to go too far down this track, but have you actually experienced this yourself? Have you found really interesting ways to leverage AI and become more effective?…
