For a current high 62 at Microsoft who wants to switch to management eventually (hands-on and technical), what is the best company to apply to? The most efficient path being promoted to Senior/63/L5, and switching whenever possible. The best companies are the ones with most technical management gaps. Multiple choices possible. Phd + 3 YOE, TC 270k
150 < ideal size < 1500 A-C stage startups are the fastest way to become an EM. They will give you technical challenges and will be happiest taking a chance on new managers. Many of the companies you've listed are less inclined to have you not be a pure people manager.
270k for 62..? Is it because of stock appreciation?
No, I joined recently. Almost no growth.
I would suggest interviewing at as many of those places as possible and getting some offers with numbers before taking poll results with no tc or info about team selection seriously
Lol TC is posted, and some of us don't have a lot of time and motivation to interview at all these companies in a brute force way, want to reduce it to the worthwhile options based on long-term goals. Assume that 6-9 months from now I can get offers from all of them for an L5 (senior) IC.
I meant tc of each offer you get. And Ya you won't get offers from all of them. There are so many different factors in the interview process and so many things out of your control that could screw you up. It's also good to interview at places that you don't necessarily want to work at because those interviews will help you learn and grow and will also give you competing offers.
I'm surprised Amazon got such a relatively high vote. Good to know!
