Hi everyone, I am currently a program manager at G (level5) and just got an offer for a PM at Fb (IC5). Wondering if I should go for it, wlb is amazing at G with decent comp but PM is a better role overall but wlb may take a hit. Also comp will be better as a PM Current comp $270K YOE : 9 yrs FB level is final but waiting on final offer #pm #product #productmanager #programmanager #programmanageratgoogle
Go for it and worst case if you get PIPed you can come back to Google without interviews.
How come!
Depends on if you want to be a Product Manager. In Tech firms, it’s Engg, DS, Product and then everyone else. Unless you are in Sales or BD..
Having worked at both companies, Product management at FB is a better role than program management at Google IMO.
What is the difference between Program Manager at G vs. Product Manager at FB?
I personally would like to work for fb over google but this is just me. I would not worry pip too much but fb is not for slackers
Yeah I hear a lot pip talks on blind when it comes to FB (and specially Amazon). Is PM pip at FB really that common?
To be honest I don't know. However it's not a company where you can say, I don't feel like doing this today, I will do it tomorrow , over short time like 1 month it will be noticed and progressive discipline will start almost immediately. FB is not a company that will let a problem linger around for long. Also FB has low tolerance for slow people, if someone is slower than the peers, less energetic, then that will be a problem.
Hi goforit , Can you DM me the team and or PA ? Looking to switch to a team that allows for better WLB
Fwiw you should see a nice tc bump assuming thats product.
go for it
