Seems like analytics manager is the obvious choice?

Do you really know what you want to do? Or you are just chasing money and title? These are quite different roles

Why jump ship?

Facebook irqL16 OP Sep 8, 2019

Good question. I kind of put that option in jest but it won the poll lol

If you don’t change career path you’ll be back office for ever

Product roles at FB are generally considered front office. These are all classified as tech roles.

Which analytics org are you at at Facebook? Why are you looking to switch?

Facebook irqL16 OP Sep 8, 2019

It’s a non-ds / non-de role. I just don’t really like my org. A lot of analytics teams at Facebook are narrowly scoped, which gets old fast.

Is it growth marketing? Do you have the ability to move internally? I always thought the analytics teams at FB were embedded in product with the ability to put on a lot of different hats
