Would Microsoft have more weight than IBM on the resume for a PM position at FAANG?
Yes
Microsoft will have way more weight is a no brainer
This reminds me of JCPenny VS Google post
Literally LOL'd when I read this ππ
Happy that I was able to make someone laugh
These people don't know what their talking about. I'm a current IBMer. FAANG has reached out to me before more than once. They offer more comp than IBM true, but I don't want to relocate.
If you are in research or in some good group at ibm, you will be highly sought after. IBM still makes great entrprise product, but the pace (not the quality, I think quality is same) of work is much slower than FANG. So it will depend on what you did at IBM.
Lots of Microsoft peeps defending how valuable Microsoft is. They are about the same imo, though the team would be way more important. Azure >> office
You canβt be that serious. Microsoft is a solid top tech company. I rank it higher than Amazon (except AWS). Google >= Facebook > Microsoft >= Amazon
Lol. I've worked at 3 of those. I'd say your ranking is out of whack. Opinions on blind are pretty worthless I guess.
IBM has a low hiring bar so their talent is typically a mixed bag
What you've worked on is a lot more important than the company on your resume. Getting an interview at FAANG is easy no matter where you're from.
IBM would have zero weight.
