TPM vs Product Managers.

There has a high rise in TPMs demand around the top notch companies spl in Google linkedin and Facebook. Microsoft still follows to have just 1 role to drive their program. Question to all product guys Will you switch to TPM ever with the fancy compensation and tech depth it can bring to you ?

I don’t think they have fancy compensation. SWE is king. PM is much better and adds more value To company

Tpm here. Lol we dont have "fancy compensation." At best we are paid slightly more than software engineers one level lower than us.

Do TPMs get paid more than PMs?

Microsoft nickT OP Nov 21, 2019

Yes in Amazon linkedin Facebook and Google

This is false. PM-Tech gets paid more than TPM.

Microsoft nickT OP Nov 21, 2019

PM and PM-T are different roles. I was comparing PM and TPM. SDM > SDE> PM-T > TPM > PM

^ Not true for Facebook and Google. PMs > > TPMs.

I have heard lost of cases where TPMs are paid more in Fb and G.

I’m a PM at Facebook and I can guarantee that for any org, PM > TPM for a given level. If Program Manager is what you mean by PM, that’s a different story then.

MSFT combines both TPM and PM roles into a single role. They are paid same as SDE at same level.

Microsoft nickT OP Nov 21, 2019

Even more than sde :)

Any examples of PM vs TPM TCs ? Assuming same level

Microsoft DedCntr Nov 21, 2019

Amazon PM is all over the place. PMT-ES(AWS)>PMT>TPM>PM

TPMs are considered second class citizens at Facebook I have heard below SWE/Data and PM

TPM is not a prestige role, OP. Don't kid yourself. It's neither PM, nor SDM, nor the prestigious SWE. It's the runt of the litter.
