Getting to $1million in TC
Depending on AMZN stock price, I'm at $280k to $300k in TC as an L6 TPM in AWS. I have a sub-goal of getting to $1 million in TC by 2024. What companies are out there where I could potentially make a $1M in TC as a principal TPM within the next 2 years? Edit: Does it make sense to transition to product management first then? I do value and enjoy having ownership of something and driving it through multiple stakeholders.
YoE? Career trajectory? $1m for TPM in 2 years sounds like a moonshot.
I imagine the answer is startups
“Moonshot” in 2 years at a startup. (Not counting paper money)
Pretty much only a startup that's about to IPO, and your TC would only last for a few years until everything was vested
That's all you'd realistically ever need
Become a TPM Director anywhere
Director is the next level after Principal, yeah?
Going from principal to director is rare. You need to go from manager to sr manager to director. Most likely path to director. Because director needs experience managing teams too.
Same. Making 500k rn but with Disney stock, it’s highly unlikely. 12 YOE IC. (Don’t want to manage)
Unless you get a director title you ain’t getting 1M TC
Staff at coinbase with 2x performance multiplier comes pretty close 950k+
Easiest path is Amazon > startup as VP / Director > startup succeeds > FAANG as L7 or Director
That doesn't work. I work executive directors from banks and other companies forget start ups. They join as product managers, program managers even just swe at Google
Same here, I’m making 60k/year, and my goal is to get to ~1mil / year by 2026 by doubling my TC every year. 2022 60k 2023 120k 2024 240k 2025 480k 2026 960k Any idea how to achieve that?
Step 1: get PIP’d
Doubling the number of LC "hards" you can solve each year will get you there
You have a better shot at putting all your earnings into crypto to hit $1MM than going to L8 or a startup IPO in two years.

lol what's the point of you following if you can't figure out the basic feature on this stupid platform
@workday, do you understand sarcasm?
