Instagram removed TPM role AIRBNB eliminated product manager role Faang hiring fewer PMs Is it finally happening? This means SDEs will own more stuff, which is great!
Really, no product management at Airbnb? OP, are you serious, that can’t be true
Nope. Role eliminated. Microsoft is considering to do the same
Damn @ Product Eliminated at Microsoft
I wouldn’t be shocked.
Probably we are going in that direction, either SDEs will do the work of TPM or TPMs will start using chatgpt, GitHub Copilot to write some code. Once those skill barriers get lower, those different roles can get merged. Domain knowledge is becoming more important than basic skills like coding/technical writing etc.
When SDE’s own the product, it will become Apple before The Return of Steve Jobs.
Great. More shitty products from Engineers with little human emotion let alone product sense.
Spotted the pm
So engineers are not humans ? lol
Tpm are glorified deadline and update chasers only . This role needs to be eliminated Product manager needs to be remain as we need consumer insights and requirements
Consumer insights = UXR + corporate strategy / bizops. PMs are by and far way below in terms of quality relative to these smaller and focused teams. Requirement docs, maybe. At that salary level? Nay
The problem is not the role but the people being hired. They hire non technical PMs….all PMs should have strong SWE or ux background excluding projects with business domain knowledge necessity.
what about product analytics background?
@upwork if they can write complex stored procedures or complex python scripts to pull data and comprehend yes. Someone who just looks at excel exports and makes recommendations no.
For sure that's why they are paying 2x TC to plan your retirement
TPM typically means technical program manager

Israeli precision-guided munition likely killed group of children playing foosball in Gaza, weapons experts say
Once Amazon follows suit, I’ll believe it. An SDM can now do TPM role due to chatgpt in addition to their daily tasks. It’s not that hard to write docs anymore
