Facebook PM Product Manager Generalist level

I am interviewing for a Product Manager Generalist role at Facebook. I have around 6 years of experience as a PM and have an MBA. The recruiter told me that these roles would start at L5. Is this true? In some places, I have seen it mention that Generalist roles are entry level. Given my experience, I would not fall under an Entry-level PM. Anyhow got a FB PM Generlist offer.. can you share the level? Thank you!

Generalist only means that you don’t have a pre allocated role, it is not connected with the seniority of the position. Considering what you said about your background ic5 is totally fine

Is L6 considered as Senior? What is a good qualification guideline?

Apple XOwN58 OP Jun 19, 2020

If L4 is entry, I would say L6 sounds like Senior

Sounds good :)). Thank you for sharing!

6 Yoe is in like with L5. L6 looks for more exp, but I’ve seen L6(pm leads) come in with 5-7 YOE and top MBA/MS/PHD

Ah, gotcha. Thanks! Glad to hear I am looking at L5+

I have 3 YOE in PM and 1 in TPM. Should I try to shoot for IC5 or will that set me up for failure. On-site coming up
