Expedia PM Interview - Job title downgraded
I am interviewing at Expedia for PM roles. When I started and applied, it was for a Sr. PM. But I see in my interview emails that the title is PM only. I am moving to onsite and I want to talk about the role being Sr. PM again. I have total 6 years of experience with a Master’s degree. What would be the right time to bring this up with the recruiter? Now or after I complete onsite?
I am afraid the TC will be lower for a lower level
Right, so your conversation with recruiter should be about TC. Clearly set your expectations, and they will level appropriately
That makes sense! Thanks so much
Assuming you are applying for a particular role on a specific team, I would clarify in advance. They may have budget for PM only and that has a defined level, and levels have salary bands (granted the bands are pretty wide and overlap.) Even if you are applying for a variety of potential roles, I would still ask about the title change.....
Thanks! Yes I applied for a specific role for a Sr. Product Manager. Not sure why they downgraded it without even mentioning that to me.
All that matters is TC
not really. The time to develop a career is very important too. You don’t want to spend years for a lower role while you could spend same years for SR role experience.
