Referrals for Seattle PM roles? (Airbnb, Stripe, Square, or other)

I'm a PM 2 at MS looking to move to a smaller company (no FAANG... please). Anybody willing to provide a referral? I've seen some positions open at Airbnb, Stripe, and Square but I'd be happy to work pretty much anywhere not FAANG.

Harder to get a role at those companies than in FAANG lol especially PM. AirBnB generally hires 10+ years experience for PM.

Yeah, I'm aware... hence seeing if anybody may be willing to refer. I know it's a long shot, but I promise I'm a great candidate. Just not one with 10+ years of exp :P

(Also, I'd really prefer to work at an even smaller company than those 3, but I think it'd be harder to find employees from those on here)

As a PM, doesn't going to smaller firms become a risk? Because moving back up to a FAANG or bigger company gets harder. No?

Why?

I’ve heard this. In FAANG people want to hire you since they can trust you aren’t crap

I'm sorry Amazon has made you so miserable! Wishing you the best in your job search.

FYI asking for a Square referral is not likely to result in one because we don't get referral bonuses and I don't know anyone who would refer a stranger in that situation

Where you at now OP? I see myself in the same boat as you (pm 2 at msft)
