Recommendations
Hereβs what Merit users have said about Jim
I got the opportunity to speak with Jim about his experiences as an engineer gone fully into Product; he gave direct feedback on my current hybrid role in addition to highly concrete next steps and goals to help me "put in the reps" toward becoming much more product-focused. Likewise, he hooked me up with a series of resources that I'm going to be poring over for the next couple months! Thanks so much again for taking the time out to talk shop, Jim, I really appreciate it!! π π€

Jim was awesome at hearing me out, took my vague and a bit rambling problem and managed to share specific stories and very actionable advice. Incredibly useful to chat with Jim about product and team issues.
Talking with Jim was great! He let me steer our conversation and really heard me. We talked through current work challenges and career paths. Would recommend Jim for any career-based questions or technology questions you may have.
