TC $320K - TPM in Azure (principal pm) - YOE 18 I am considering two offers from Meta & Amazon. Roughly TC is the same at ~$480K-$500K How is WLB, culture, promo velocity and impact between Meta and Amazon? I am looking for career growth potential and enough time to enjoy my family and hobbies. Getting tired of poor WLB in my Azure team and low TC for the hours I put in.
Stay away from Amazon.
450 - 750 K. There are very few L7 TPMs at Meta
Meta for sure. For the criteria you laid out. Make sure you pick an Infra team instead of Product team.
Why is infra TPM better than Product TPM?
OP is looking for good WLB in addition to growth opportunities. Infra TPMs have more scope for growth as there are no Product Managers in Infra, especially for someone like OP who comes from Azure. Infra is also generally more chill compared to Product orgs. I'm at Meta now even though posting from my prior MS blind account.
Avoid Amazon / AWS if at all possible. It’s an Ops heavy badly managed sweatshop where WLB is a negative and the days are spent guarding yourself from PIP stalking nano managers and stack ranked co workers who will gladly throw you under the bus. There are many better options (almost all companies) than Amazon / AWS so keep looking and save yourself the PTSD and therapy bills.
OP, what did you end of taking ?
@twh85 can you ping me? I had question about tpm infra

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
What about the scope for each role and what are future prospects for L7 at meta if you spend a year at Amazon and apply for e7 at meta?
