Is there a career path option for moving to product or program management at Facebook or only progression is to management / sr indvl contributor position within Engg Howe do mangers help folks to move forward in these cases?
This Oracle guy has completely derailed my original question and given it a new spin. I was merely asking is such a switch of functional roles encouraged at fb ? Are they generally open about it?
Then frame your question correctly.
Just because product and program manager has manager in the title it is not management. People management is not same as those. Its called hiring manager
Program management also requires people management in its own way.
That's not what I am asking , I am asking if you can move out of engg to product of program mgmt function (don't confuse with title )
