I'm exploring new opportunities in tech and found out program manager at MS seems to be more interesting. I have been coding for more than 6 years now and lead a team of 5 developers for more than 3 years. Looking for roles that involve technical and program management skills. Is PM role at MS more like leading technical team or just acting as an interface between product and dev team? Do they guide the dev team technically or just shares requirements?
You like making less TC?
We have no product team it is the pm team
Okay, so they get all the feature requirements from business and work with dev team?
No, program managers are still responsible for the feature reqs. We just don’t have a formal role called “product manager” in 99% of cases.
