How is LinkedIn regarded for PM hiring? I’m currently an L6 PM at Google and was contacted for a principal pm role at LinkedIn in an area I have unique experience in. Looks like TC for this level is higher (570) so I’m intrigued but I’m wondering how my options will look when I eventually leave, especially since Google is top tier TC: 420 YOE: 13 (9@Google) ##pm #product #productmanager #resume #experience #linkedin
You already have Google on the resume doesn’t matter. LinkedIn is about on par in reputation and Principal is upper end L6 imo. Worked in both places, you can DM me.

Best way to apply at Microsoft
About the same as Google imo, which is very good but short of "top tier" for me. Google PM reputation is at global max internally, but not always at other companies and some may even have a few specific concerns about Google PMs they will evaluate individually (not going to give those away here though). Having PM experience at multiple quality companies is generally a good thing as you show higher probability of being well-rounded.
What is top tier to you? Serious question
Historically companies like Apple and Adobe have impressed me. I am drawn to products I love using, and I'm a sucker for a good UX. Slack and Uber (although I hate the business) are doing something right. Those are the big names who tend to consistently get product "right." I'm a big fan of Whoop although they're so much smaller that their product may just reflect individual talent standing out more than a necessarily great product culture. For companies selling products directly to product managers, I like Figma and Pendo. I'd love to hire from these companies' teams just to get a taste of how they're doing business. Massive companies like Amazon and Google both obviously have some GREAT product managers making it rain for the whole company, but they also have persistent weaknesses that become obvious when fielding huge product portfolios. For example Amazon has biased its PM hiring towards more customer focus with too many PMs lacking foundational tech expertise, and (from the outside) Google seems to have too many PMs focused on 'playing with neat-o technology' instead of building businesses out of solutions to user problems. And Google's "product graveyard" has become an industry meme for ill-conceived product strategy.
