Project (not Product) Manager role in FAANG
Hi Blind fam! I know MSFT, AMZN, and Google have Project Manager roles in facility maintenance and construction. I was curious what skills those roles required, apart from a PMP cert? I don't think they would require any coding skills. Would help if there is someone on Blind who is currently employed in such a role. Thank you. TC: $70K #tech
Do not get a pmp unless it is a requirement for a role
Is there a negative connotation to the PMP in tech?
Absolutely. I consistently question if I should note it on my resume or not
Depends on what you are looking for. I’ve been an infrastructure Pm and now a software PM. I don’t have certs and don’t plan to get them. It’s about studying the vocabulary and pain points. I have no coding back ground and in fintech now. TC 145k in Florida
Great. That's what I was looking for. Would you be able to share your pathway towards the transition?
