What does it take for a Project manager to get recruited in these top product companies. 10 years experience in marketing and business consulting. It seems there are no project managers but program or product managers at Google or MS. Thanks
There are some project management roles with both companies consulting units, but not a primary skill career success. Most are just expected to have it in PM, lead and management roles
Are they expected to be engineers first and then PMs?
Project management in and of itself isn't usually considered a full FTE job although I've seen contractor project managers hired handle one off initiatives. Consulting to strategy or biz ops might be your path
Hi, I work for Amazon as application analyst and have been wanting to switch careers to project/program management roles. I want to apply for google. Any guidance advice is appreciated.
Program managers are also expected to lead and manage projects if needed.
What's the primary role of a Product manager at Google? Are they expected to be engineers?
