I have two internal job switch offers to move from PM (non-tech) role to a TPM or PM-T (unrelated - two separate offers, teams). Which should I pick given that the job duties that was explained by both teams are identical (customer interaction, backlog grooming, dev/sprint mgmt)? TC: L6 - 260K (no change with transfer) YOE : 17 (2 yrs at AMZN)
Tpm will have more day to day hustle and PMTs will have more longer term strategy and less of daily chaos. I honestly dislike TPMs job, its lot of chaotic work.
Would you elaborate? I am interviewing for TPM right now
From long term career perspective PMT is better that TPM
AWS PMT aka PMT-ES> PMT >TPM. Go with AWS PMT because the external services distinction in AWS will increase the pay band another 40k above the regular PMT band. I am not sure that there are TPM-ES ( never heard of that at Amazon) but there are definitely plenty of PMT-ES and they make Bank$$$.
Thank you. What qualifies the switch from PMT to PMT-ES in the future? Is that work across AWS services? Also how does WLB differ between TPM and PMT, any ideas?
I don’t think OP would get a PMT-ES title with an internal transfer. Most likely, he’ll be PMT in a PMT-ES team
