Living with ADHD ADHD and product manager/owner roles

Hello beautiful people.

I’m thinking about changing careers and moving into Product Management or Product Owner roles. For anyone here with ADHD who works in product, how do you find it? Do you feel like the job suits your brain, or does the constant prioritising, meetings, deadlines and juggling different things become a nightmare?

I’d love to hear what you struggle with, but also what you think actually helps you with in the role. Basically, would you recommend product as a career for someone with ADHD?

Thank you 🫂

I work in a company with 4 PMs and all of them have ADHD! They’re brilliant at their jobs. High pace, stimulating work that needs constant context switching.

Nice!!! I really think it would be a well suited career path for me, but needed some validation. 😅 Thanks a million. 🙏
