/// Multiple questions - hope it helps more people /// Hello - Been flying under the Great Resignation radar, but Coinbase recruiter pinged for GPM (Group Product Manager) role, so why not?! CB has been on my list :) Blind Tax: YOE 12; TC ~$320K > Onsite Experience??? I looked at a few threads and the pre-onsite feels clear, but there’s no good reference for the onsite. Is it like the Meta / Facebook guide? Sense, Execution, and Behavioral Interviews? > Comp Blind says: 270k base, 10% bonus, 10% signing bonus, and $400k yearly equity grant (x%??? decrease in cash if not SF or NYC). Packages are nonnegotiable - can someone check the amounts? Singing bonus could use a boost - any luck there? > Team size What’s the scope of a GPM when it comes to People Management? Love my people management track and hope to continue growing that. > Teams Haven’t seen a post on the best teams to join? Hearing WLB is not amazing, so trying to optimize for good leaders, teammates, and interesting problems. > Bonus question for FB PMs If the preparation is similar, maybe I’ll ping FB connections and kill two birds (don’t judge!). Novi seems interesting :) Would CB GPM = FB IC7? I’m hearing it’s wise to join FB as an IC, learn how things work, and chase the M route over the next 12-18months. Doable? Recommended? 🙏 #pm #product #productmanager
QQ — what level are you at C1?
D level with prior experience in building Consumer Apps. Just starting conversations, let’s see where this goes.
Good luck! Just left C1 would love to connect if you’re open to it
Did you end up interviewing?
Yes, FB and Coinbase. Got to the final on-site, but no offer. FB was pretty fantastic, regardless of not getting an offer, and it really changed my perspective on the people that work there. Very likely to try again at some point in the future. Coinbase was a sh** show during the entire process: hot potato between recruiters, crazy ghosting (weeks), many schedule changes throughout, and some of the interviewers with a bit of an attitude. Will not go back; though I really Brian’s takes on crypto
