(Asking for my *spouse* who isn’t on Blind, they are currently Sr PM at Amazon TC 235). They recently got a generous verbal offer (TC 260k) from PayPal for L26 PM in a pretty technical domain. They are excited about the challenge and the team mates / culture all seem great, but some unknowns:

1) what would be the process to change teams in the future if things don’t work out or the domain does not align with their passion.
2) what is the likelihood of promotion to L27 and how long does it typically take at PayPal?

My TC - 265k

    I switched teams last year. As uhmno pointed out, you have to wait for 1 year before the internal switch. Your current manager, however, can make an exception for you and release you before 1 year.

      I did this- I saw some internal postings on workday portal. I selected couple of positions and reached out to the HM personally with interest. Make sure you talk to the manager after you apply. In my case, the HM took my resume and asked the recruiter to set up interviews. I had 3 interviews for the team I joined, 6 with another team (so the number of rounds will vary from team to team). One week after all my rounds were over, the manager and recruiter notified me that they are moving forward with the offer. If you have more questions, I will be happy to connect over DM :)
      PayPal expects that your inform your current manager about your intention as soon as you talk to the new HM.

    @hanginthr - I know the general recommendation is 1 year before switching teams but would have to go through an interview process. What’s your spouse’s YOE? And is this Bay Area ?

    Is the interview process encouraged by new HMs to be done discreetly until verbal offer stage?
