Is there any actual title like Head of Product at AWS? I find this on some people’s profile and wonder if it’s just scam. Thoughts?
It's their way of saying, "I wish I had a bigger title."
Yes. These titles don’t exist at Amazon, only in their minds.
Head of Product is generally an L7 principal PM/PM-T or an L7 Sr. Manager PM-T. If this is an L6 Sr. PM who made up the title (I.e. not an official title in phone tool), then I agree it is BS.
Amazon doesn't give titles based on body parts. It also means that he is head in his head.
Depends. If someone is writing head of product for <a specific service/product> then it is credible. If they are writing head of product for AI.... Fuck that
Based on my interviews with Amazon, I felt Amazon is strict around yoe. So, a person who only has 5-6 yoe having a head of AWS Product was confusing.
Yeah that's weird. If they said Head of Product for AWS Batch, it would be more believable and right.
