I was recently contacted by Google for a Product Strategy role requiring 2 years experience. How much can I reasonably expect for TC? My current package at Rubrik is about 110k after bonus and RSUs etc. Any additional insights on the Product Strategy function at Google in general would also be appreciated.
curious what does product strategy do?
Great question, and I’m still learning more about the role myself. My understanding so far is that PMs at Google don’t do a lot of outbound work — e.g engaging directly with customers to learn what’s going well and what isn’t. They also don’t do any sales enablement if their product has sales teams. This is where Product Strategy comes in. PS influences roadmap by basically working more closely with customers and sales. It’s weird because on one hand PS sounds like a super sexy role but on the other hand it could be another bullshit support role for PMs. I’m under the impression that PMs pretty much run the show at every company in Silicon Valley so I need to figure out if this is more of a tier 2 / support role. If so, I’ll probably just stay at Rubrik
It’s a “recommend” role (within the Raci framework). You’re right PM calls the shots
Is it unusual for them to be interviewing someone with so little experience? I feel like most PS roles are for post-MBA types. They’re also requiring that I do a technical interview, which isn’t a problem for me, but seems bizarre given the title.
@ssssound I have my interview with Google next week for the Product Strategy and go-to-market specialist role. I will be having my first round which would involve coding, SQL as well. Could you please share your interview experience.

Rubrik is private so RSUs are paper money. Excluding them what's the compensation?
I basically didn’t calculate RSUs in the 110 figure. I’m on 100k base + 10% bonus.
