Thankfully, I've got a bit of runway to figure things out.

My ultimate goal is to be an entrepreneur by way of product building. But I'm beginning to question if I'm fundamentally not wired for it.

I think be prepared to accept that — you’ll find orders of magnitudes more joy when you find the thing which you are wired for.
This is a process though... It takes lots of experiments & self-enquiry to reach this point, particularly evaluating the experiences but I believe this is the most rewarding thing that happens in life when we understand it.

Seems like everyone wants to IPO these days, until you ask them what would happen if nobody else would know about their success and they wouldn't be allowed to communicate it.

Anyways, PM roles can be great but are also not for everyone. Best thing is to try and see, same with product building.

For self-reflection I recommend the Life Design Stanford course or Self-authoring by Jordan Peterson.
