Is a TPM title in Amazon considered similar to SDE for H1b visa category?
Lately I have been hearing a lot of issues about H1bs for SDEs in FANGs getting rejected because of no education in Computer Sciences field. I am looking at a Technical Program Manager position at Amazon. since I don’t have prior education in CS, I am concerned that the move to the TPM role comes with similar risks. Any feedback is deeply appreciated. TC 170K YOE 12. Currently a PM at SAP
Nope
Most of TPM job description states bachelor’s or Masters in CS as basic qualification which would be a risk for H1B. I would check the job description before taking the call
Can you claim to have the equivalent of a CS degree? If not it's a risk for sure.
This “same or similar” thing is a real issue. First of all, the US government took 16 years to define what that means. And it’s still very ambiguous. Good luck!!
Is the TPM job description same as SDE?
