Was L64 PM at Microsoft. Went to AMZN as L6 TPM manager. After 3 years, contemplating coming back to Microsoft as PM manager. What level should I target?
I think Principal TPM atleast. Amazon L6 overlaps highly with Principal band at Microsoft so the real question is 65 vs 66? That'd depend on how close you are to becoming Principal TPM at Amazon, the work you've done in the last few years etc. As a hiring manager, the question I'd be asking myself is should I be taking a risk with 66 or get you in at 65 and grow you? That's where your projects, references etc. will come into picture. But my suggestion would be to target 66 so that you get atleast 65. For anything less, don't leave considering the upside of equity with AMZN, unless of course you get a better offer from a company other than Microsoft. I was a Bar Raiser at Amazon and have seen a lot of in flock so I can very accurately suggest the above based on my experience.
Thanks thebumble
Hahaha had your ass handed to you as a real PM outside of the Microsoft PM bubble?
Yeah, That too. Really though, tired of the commute.
What’s the Microsoft PM bubble?
