Hi everyone! Super excited to post about my offer that I just received from Amex for a product manager role. Location is PHX. Title: Sr. Manager Product Development Role is product manager, B35 Base: $120K Bonus: 12%+multipliers (paid next year if I'm still on the payroll in Feb/Mar) TC will be about $140K or thereabouts. I have 12+ years of experience, couple of years in sales/operations, about six years in product development/engineering and another five as PM, first for a mid-size medical equipment company and then a year as PM for Amex (as a contractor). MS and BS in engineering. Haven't written software, firmware or designed circuits in a while. This is the most money I've ever made, I know it's sad but I'll work hard on growing from here. Any thoughts or advice? I have a panel interview with Carvana next week for technical PM but not sure if they can beat Amex for pay or for WLB. Should I stall to see how that goes? I love my current boss at Amex so I'm hoping to get a couple more years under the belt before looking at a tech or fin-tech PM role in other nearby locations (CA, WA, UT or NM) for better growth opportunities. #pm #productmanager #amex #product #tc
Are you currently at Amex OP?
Yes I am - but I'm working as a contractor through another company.

Tech companies to avoid as a white guy?
Good for amex, you can try to push base to 130k maybe you'll get 125ish. Amex is excellent for WLB but not so much for growth.
Thanks for the advice! How long have you been there? Tech or PM? Does transferring internally help with growth or is it just learning more domain/system knowledge?
Im not amex anymore. If you want growth there, learn how to play hard politics, leak your B40 and 45 butts everyday till you make it. No other route. Alternatively you can learn till you feel you know enough and interview elsewhere to get 2xTC as I did. You are probably in CFR Id assume, work is easy to master, so enjoy the ride. All the best!
