A change in career, offices that inspire work, and more guest takeaways

How do you get into product management in a bank?

Cathal Quinlan and Annette Sloan answer Jake's question about finding a way into the role. Annette explains what product managers actually do, then shares three practical places to start: shadow someone doing the job, explore relevant study, or learn the business through a customer-facing or operations role.

They also revisit Cathal's conversation with workplace designer Dan Moscrop: why friendship at work matters, how to design around the people using a space, and what makes an office worth the commute.
