Curious to know HR practices in FANG companies when hiring at Manager level. Had a get-to-know call with Hiring Manager at GCP for a Managerial role and he tells me all employees onboard as IC initially and move to a Manager role and it’s a HR policy. That seems weird to me, is this for real ? We don’t have such practice here at Apple. I have 10+ years of Experience and 4+ as a manager. And easily qualify the requirements for the role at Google and recruiter is the one who reached out to me. And honestly I am not interested to pursue a IC level role at this point in my career.
I can confirm it’s similar at fb, for the marketing team at least. I have managerial experience as well and was told the same by the fb recruiter. They want you to get used to how they function before adding on people management responsibilities.
Damn, in the exact same scenario

This is how my manager started when he transferred to my team as well, back when I worked at Google. You do IC work for a very short time, like three months or so, in order to better understand the engineering problems the team faces, since Google sdms are expected to be highly technical and to be able to contribute technically to the team. Basically sounds about right to me.
I was in gcp see btw
