Did you look at levels.fyi?

Microsoft 63 and amazon L5.. they kept referring it as senior TPM so not sure about the leveling. Have a call with recruiters next week. Presuming I’m getting offer from both.

Tpm at amazon= technical program manager . Pmt = product manager technical. Very different roles. Just be clear on what you're getting into

L5 at Amazon is not a “senior”. Title would just be TPM. A Sr TPM is level 6. Can be a pretty big comp difference between the two roles.

I've never heard of a tech PM at Microsoft.

PwC XTkT8 OP Nov 2, 2019

At Microsoft it’s a PM role in engineering org so I’m presuming I’ll be paid better than a PM in business org. That’s why mentioned tech PM

Then you’re definitely higher than L5 (they hire uni grads for L5, I know a few)- Dont sell yourself short
