How can a L4/L5 SWE at Google convert to a product manager? Has anyone tried that or seen others do it? What steps need to be taken; do you have any lessons to share?
There's a PM rotation program, I've seen multiple engineers do it. The goal is to convert, SWEs usually don't go back.
How does the PM rotation program works ? Is there any limitation ? Like you have to be at certain levels ?
You want to be PM at Google? Otherwise you could just build up PM skillsets on the side and just apply elsewhere directly as PM.
I see all these young fang PMs on linkedin with no tech background, basketweaving degrees, barely any exp (backgrounds similiar to a receptionist or jr recruiter), ... how TF they get in? Seriously, do they have to date the Head PM or what?
They have flodded my Linkedin feed
Why would u want to do that
