Are there staff or principal Product manager roles at meta? What I understand is they have L5 (Senior PM) and L6 (product lead). What levels are staff and principal ? Are they specific to org?
We don’t have those titles. IC PMs can get to L7 and L8, but these are rare as there has be scope wide enough in the business to attain these levels.
I added few snapshots of those titles
Thanks. I think those are from LinkedIn which means they’re made up. Internally, I’ve never seen those titles. Maybe some L6s call themselves principal? A group PM is maybe a M1, a PM that manages about 5 or so IC PMs.
Lol I’m in the RL group. The Ray-ban product is shit. I don’t know why they even released it, it was a complete flop. Those titles are completely made up…and honestly, I doubt this person did much for the product launch or feature definition since the thing was pretty much defined and developed before he even started at Meta looking at the timeline.
Every product meta releases is a flop lol
We don’t have those titles.
Titles just help outside folks calibrate themselves with internal levels at Meta. And E6, is still Software engineering internally but outside he is Staff engineer.
Made up title especially for a PM
Generally accepted titles for levels are ic5 senior, ic6 staff, ic7 senior staff, ic8 principal ...
Meta doesn’t differentiate IC titles for PM at any level. That person made up those job titles to approximate their job level, but internally all ICs are called “Product Manager” regardless of level. Same with Software Engineer.
This is helpful. Thank you!!
Probably made up titles
Maybe. Though LinkedIn has staff and principal roles in product ?
