Are there events / meet ups worth attending to learn more? L66 Microsoft PM here. Any insight appreciated, particularly from folks who have made similar move. Life as a PM, career, job satisfaction, etc.
Everyone is leaving former WDG at Microsoft all of a sudden...
Because Satya fired Terry and they all got reorged into a place where they’re dead men walking. Good luck with them — one of the most toxic groups of employees in the tech industry, especially those who’ve been around too long. The WDG PM org was notorious for being dead weight. Ask any eng in Microsoft Blind.
But Erin Chapple was promoted to CVP. Was she not the shining light that kept Windows Server alive?
TC irrelevant to the question.

There is no MS PM role equivalent here (and I hope we keep it that way). There are Product Managers, most of them are in MPK but I see a few here too. Integrity team, Marketplace, Messenger RTC. Then there are TPMs, lots of important infra teams have footprint here like ads.
