I'm a new grad going to Google as a TPM. I was an SWE before at another FAANG and am now getting cold feet about my position and change. The team I am going to has assured me that my position is highly technical and I will be involved in developing the product with the dev team as well. Which is great! What I am worried about is the trajectory for my career going in as a TPM. How hard is it to move to product? Or back to SWE? Do TPMs really get to be technical? Are they really looked down upon as much at Google as Amazon/FB? Also, how is the pay in comparison to PM or SWE typically?
Pay is lower than PM and much lower than SWE, but still above Finance and Marketing
Is this at FB or at Google as well? My TC is (a good bit) higher than all the also new grad SWE’s going to Goog with me that I know.
Go back to SWE.
How difficult would it be to do so?
