On any given day, I perform some or all the following:  Strategizing about my customer's wants, what I can develop, what the need is, and so on.  Attending and leading meetings with people from all throughout the firm. Consider myself a glue and conduit between Engineering (those who make stuff), Marketing / Sales (people who sell stuff), Management (the big bosses), and customers who help us keep the lights on.  I also spend time listening, cooperating, and communicating. A lot of emails, planning, monitoring how things are going, and so on.  I also do exciting stuff like chat to consumers and come up with amazing designs and ideas.  My usual day consists of a variety of enjoyable and unpleasant activities. One of the common technical questions for a product manager.
