What surprised you the most about being a TPM?

I don't think I've had a single surprise across my various tech product management roles. 

In general, I would say my most surprising aspects when I moved to a product role has been the amount of work that goes into non-engineering aspects. For example, how much influence marketing or finance can bring into the success of a product. Partnering with these organizations taught me a lot since I came from an engineering background.
