Currently in final stages of interview at Microsoft for L63 Senior Program Manager in Engineering org and L64 Senior Product Marketing Manager in Marketing org. What should I consider if I were to get offers from both? What would you choose? Is there a difference in pay? TC 225k
Very different roles and work. Compensation will be similar as engg is generally 10-15% more in base, so 63 PM is more or less 64 PMM.
Unless you know the PMM role is what you want, go for the PM role. 63–>64 isn’t a hard promo and there are vastly more options in the company for an engineering PM than a PMM in marketing.
Hey Op, how did it go? Did you accept it? and what was the final offer?
Depends on what you want to do. They are two different roles with very different responsibilities.
I have been in Product and Engineering for the last several years. Can you share some differences between the two in terms of compensation and career growth opportunities?
