Cons
Inconsistent Process Maturity Some teams and projects might lack structured roadmaps, discovery processes, or well-defined success metrics. High Context Switching Juggling multiple ventures or domains can be mentally taxing and may slow deep product thinking or mastery. Limited Product Mentorship You may be operating as the most senior PM on projects without a senior PM or Head of Product to mentor you formally.
