Nobody ever warns you about the constant defense of your design decisions that come with being a product designer.
As soon as you begin designing the wireframes, you'll be questioned about your decisions. Justifying your design decisions is a process that remains constant throughout the entire product development process.
A successful product designer comes to a stakeholder meeting prepared with data representing users' needs.
