How do you tell a useful operator interview from a promotional one?
Strengths
  • Survey-based issues on hiring and compensation that few others attempt at this sample size.
  • The paid Slack, at 30k+ members, is the largest peer group of its kind in product.
  • Interviews go long enough to get past the guest's talking points.
  • Sheer reach means it's the shared reference in most product conversations.
Limitations
  • Skews product and career, so a demand gen or paid lead will find less here.
  • Volume is high, and the guest interviews vary a lot in usefulness.
  • Most of the archive sits behind the paywall.
  • Advice tends toward larger, well-resourced companies, which doesn't always transfer to a team of 4.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already have compensation data to plan headcount against.
Ideal for
