🤯PMs at 2-5 years old startups show HIGHEST rate of disillusionment. These aren't failing startups-they're ones that raised massive funding during the zero-interest party.
65% say having zero real power to ship features. The dream died after Series B. 📉

10/10 The PM existential crisis is real: Unlike engineering or design, even good PMs struggle to explain their value. With AI rising and VC funding dropping, some founders think 90% of PM roles aren't needed. Is this the beginning of the end? 🤖

9/10 MBAs are more likely to be "Product Maniacs" (happy PMs) than "Frauduct Managers." Time to reconsider the "MBAs make bad PMs" stereotype? 🎓

8/10 Company size matters: Bigger companies = happier PMs. But the real sweet spot for unhappiness? Indian startups with 50-250 people. These are the primary breeding grounds for "Frauduct Managers." 📊

7/10 Counterintuitive finding: The strongest believers in data and user research aren't the happiest PMs. They're mostly neutral about their careers. The happiest ones take a more balanced approach! 🤔

6/10 The happiest PMs ("Product Maniacs") love working with designers. The unhappiest prefer analytics teams. Could this hint at the death of product craftsmanship in favor of pure metrics? 🎨📊

5/10 Want happy PMs? Data shows two critical factors:

Give them actual power to ship features
Good managers (surprise!)
Everything else is secondary. Simple, yet so many companies get this wrong. 🎯

4/10 Plot twist: Former consultants are more likely to become "Frauduct Managers" than those from other backgrounds. Yes, they found Product Management MORE disappointing than consulting! 🎭

3/10 Shocking insight: The unhappiest PMs work in Indian startups with 50-250 people, aged 2-5 years. These ZIRP-era companies, once flush with cash, are now the biggest creators of disillusioned Product Managers. 💸

2/10 The youngest PMs are the most disillusioned: 20% of PMs with <1 year experience are "Frauducts." The number drops to just 8% for veterans with 12+ years. Is Product Management failing its next generation? 📉

🧵 1/10 BOMBSHELL: Survey of 1,001 Product Managers in India reveals a crisis - many believe their entire profession is a scam. Meet the "Frauduct Managers" - PMs who've lost faith in their role but keep doing it anyway.
