Fintech PM to FAANG PM
I recently accepted an Product Management Specialist position at a payments Fintech company (think Amex, Mastercard, Visa), but I have been hearing from others that I won't be able to eventually move from this role into a FAANG PM role. Is there a negative stigma in Product Management and at FAANG companies against PM positions at companies like Amex/Mastercard/Visa? Furthermore, would you be able to provide me with a ranking of APM at Amex vs Mastercard vs Visa?
Same as cards: 1. Amex 2. Visa 3. Mastercard
Amex pays shit
Why r u asking if you know the answer?
Very doubtful. Myself and many people I know have gone between payments (much less known company than all the card brands) and faang no problem.
Seen capital one product director become IC PM (l5, maybe 6) at meta
I went through L7 PM loop at Amazon and meta before the freezes hit. People talk out of their ass a lot. Don’t let it discourage you. If you’re good, then you’re good.
Lol that’s silly. If you’re good you’ll be able to go wherever.
