Hello - I’m wondering what my chances are at joining another FANG company as a non-tech employee.
I joined Amazon shortly after college in an entry level position earning about $80k TC and have been promoted twice since then (4.5 years). I’m now a Senior Product Manager (again, non-tech), earning $200k TC, and I’ve held account manager and marketing manager positions in between.
I’m 28 and I’m coming up on five years at Amazon with great projects/accomplishments under my belt. But, I’d like to accelerate my career with my next move for the long-term ($$ and responsibility-wise).
Would these (Facebook or Google) companies even look at me? What’s the best approach on getting “in” and not being lost amongst the masses?

I’ve only met a handful of people who are truly happy at Amazon. Most who’ve left it for elsewhere did not regret it in the slightest.
I guess experience counts for something, but does it outweigh others my same age with less experience and an elite school’s MBA degree?
I know it’s not the best decision to stay at a company too long if you’re looking to grow.
Applied outside of referral in August for a role right in line with what I can do (PMM) given my marketing and product management exp. Not even a phone call or follow up - just confirmation they received my app.
