Why I like retail

August 5th, 2010 · Comments

I have been posting very infrequently since May because I started a new job.

I left online advertising and returned to the E-commerce world.

I really enjoy working in the e-commerce world. E-commerce is retail, low margin, and ultra competitive.

But, I like the fact that I’m working with hard, tangible products. I’m actually selling real products.

There is a very clear score card. Good or bad, my performance is measured by well defined metrics. This is so much better than product management – the political nature of product management jobs is suffocating.

I’m glad I’m back to the game. E-commerce is fun.
