What's harder?

Meet David Zweig, a Product Manager here at Coursera! As a product manager, David serves as the connection point between all of the Courserians working toward a common goal: to improve the quality of content in our catalogue and offer more valuable learning experiences. “I see my role as navigating between people who have much more expertise than I have–whether that be learners and partners on their experience with our products, my designer on creating a great UX, or my engineering team on building something that will actually perform and scale,” he says. “I’m having to constantly check my assumptions and question things I thought I knew to be true as I work to drive our team forward in pursuit of a common vision. I’ve found that this happens best for me when I engage with work from a place of curiosity and let myself take interest in the puzzles I have to solve, rather than see them as problems needing fixing (not always easy!).”
