That approach to project management couldn't scale, though, which is why the Fool now has an official project management team in place. I also work with the company's product managers, helping them understand the Internet's possibilities and limitations. At the end of the day, my main responsibility is to help formulate strategic goals into project requirements that our techies and designers can use as the basis for their work. It' s a blast. Pretty festive and collegial, though around deadline time it gets pretty quiet.
People bring in a lot of great food, too, which is somewhat problematic.
I work on a floor with writers and designers, so there's always someone interesting to talk to. Everyone is seriously into what they're doing, and that's exciting to be around. The Fool's writers always encourage investors to take the long view and invest in companies only after they've looked into the fundamentals. The same thing is true of the Internet, or really, any industry. The Internet is a fact of life now, so it'll be a source of great career opportunities for a mighty long time.
