My friend is applying to APM positions. This is what he has ended up with after recruiting season. What should he pick? Assume pay is the same. Past internship: PM @ known Tier 2 company, PM @ tier 1 company. Can't go back to Microsoft cuz of bad team + other complicated reasons. Wanted to weigh PM votes more heavily, hence the options.
Zynga is good, their PMs are solid. Known to have been one of the first in to leverage obsessive data for product decisions
Yahoo's making a comeback.
The pay for them isn’t even close to same though- 120k for Zynga vs 150k+ for yahoo. I might be in a similar boat, what did your friend end up choosing?
Both crap companies, Zynga crappier than the other. It may come down to the project/team though
