If you look at the open roles of product managers since 2022, look, in 2023 it was 4,000. It went from 10,000, dropped all the way to 4,000 in this time period. It was like, oh, we're not going to need product managers anymore, right? So it drops down. And then what's happening is it's continued to rise from the low. It's risen 79%. I think really AI-pilled product managers, we're actually looking for them right now. But if you're good at product, you have taste and you're super AI-pilled, the way I see it right now is you're able to combine a lot of the elements around design, development, and product. And so I think those people are able to do a lot more with less.
