Which company is best to have on your resume?
Any inputs on how valued the TPM role is in Facebook vs. other major tech companies? The compensation and expectations seem pretty high
They are, but eng on blind at least don’t seem to respect them much.
Engineering does not seem to respect anyone TBH
My TPM is not a tpm. He is not a pm either. He is not even a member of the group. I wish he just disappeared. It's bad. I've known good tpms and appreciate when I work with one but haven't seen good examples at FB
What separates the good ones in your opinion?
FB is spot on. TPMs are generally useless, and often they are where bureaucracy takes hold in an organization. Good ones are rare and truly inspiring to work with because they are so different from the rest and exert such an undeniable influence on everyone. In my experience, the good ones don't stay TPMs for long. They eventually get snatched up and work as Engineering Managers or Product Managers. Some of the good ones I've worked with have gone on to big things at the VP level in major companies.
Why do we even need TPMs?
So interns have someone to make fun of?
Damn - maybe speaking to the FB recruiter is a waste of time. I have a meaningful role right now and Facebook seems like a company on the slide anyways
Talk to the recruiter, don’t be influenced by comments on a blind post. Mine included. See for yourself, I’ve worked with some great TPMs and I’m sure there are crappy Engineers or PMs too out there.
There’s a really wide spectrum when it comes to TPM. I’m still not exactly sure what the definition of the role is. Some are pretty questionable and basically do some weak project management and collaboration work while others will drive stuff like the recent Messenger app ground up re-write or development of the next Oculus headset.
What level are you looking at?
L5 I suppose
