Zero work for program managers in PayPal and full pay.

Don’t know PayPal that well and while I think tam in google is not glamorous moving to a different ladder or team isn’t too hard after a year...so for that reason I’d take google given it’s internal mobility

This is actually a consultant role. Updated the original post

I heard moving to Product Manager was harder but program manager isnt as hard?

What’s your end goal do a temp to perm ? Or stay as consultant

To perm :)

Could be a healthy chance at PayPal to stay on if they like you and an opening materializes but most PMO roles are just facilitator roles and for a few months you will be mostly ineffective till you get all the pieces
