I am an SDE-II at Amazon with 8 yoe. Want to switch into management roles externally. Ideally SDM but can consider TPM/PM too. Is it worth getting PMP? Are there other ways to strengthen my resume without formal management experience? [pls don’t suggest switching internally. I have decided to leave Amazon]
If you are talking about product management, thinking about problems, writing about them, thinking about user journeys, ranking the problem based on criteria are much better than any course. And it is not as easy as it sounds.
PMP is a joke dude
Hi OP - In same situation. I have been connecting to mentors in and outside Amazon to transition to SDM role. Currently a SDE2. Please feel free to ping. Most of them suggested that its tough unless we get some management experience or join a mid tier company thats willing to take chance hire me as SDM
Understandable. Messaged
Another useless pm
