Any advice how to break into PMM at FAANG/ large tech?
I am looking for a PMM role where I can work with a smart and passionate team at a large tech co. My background is SaaS and mostly on the comms side. Any advice how to get taken seriously by PMM? I can't move in current company, already tired and was told I don't have enough PMM experience. So I'm hoping at a bigger company I can get that experience. Open to B2B or B2C. I have 12-16YOE depending what you count.
Why PMM? I want to be closer to sales and have an impact on revenue. I like product messaging, case studies, understanding customer pain points and how to position a product to serve their needs. Don't enjoy working on projects that seem irrelevant to or too far removed from core business success. While I don't have experience in pricing and packaging, I would like to learn.
Is it too late? Do I need to get an MBA?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice. #marketing #PMM #google #microsoft #netflix #meta #amazon

I also come from SaaS background but on the client solutions side. And am now transitioning to PMM role after a bit of time on the brand side.
