PM Spotlight is a webinar series where we bring top product managers from around the world to understand what product management is like in their country.

I see that people are talking about how people in the tech industry without CS degrees are unserious, untechnical, and inferior. My degrees are in Political Science and International Relations. Some of the smartest people I know in tech have degrees in Classics and Ceramics.
