Eh. Ergonomically speaking, using a bed desk puts you in a poor posture for extended computer work. Your back is unsupported, your neck is craned downward, and your wrists and arms are likely unsupported as well. There might be some weird disruption of the brain's conditioning that the bed is for rest as well if you do this too much. Lotta people have a tough time falling asleep because of an inability to mentally "switch off" at night. Keeping work restricted to a desk area is a sort of magical mental separation that I like.

Feh. Of course this is happening. Who's hiring experienced product leads outside the US anyway?

The job market, especially outside of the US, is dead for experienced product leads, and the culture and other factors outside the US can't be changed so easily. I know at least five people now, from the EU, who are struggling hard landing product leadership roles internationally.

With all these tech companies tightening budgets and laying off staff, hiring has slowed across the board. I mean I guess for sure there's still desire for senior PM talent, but the roles are 100% more scattered.

I only know a bunch of people in the EU and don't really have a global picture so how's the product job landscape globally? What regions or companies still have healthy hiring pipelines? Is it mainly US-based companies recruiting abroad or are there other non-US tech scenes continuing to grow? I mean, there must be, but nothing compared to the US.

Maybe the AI takeover should come as soon as possible after all.
