Ok so I get its extremely difficult to get into FB or Google as PM. Once you get in and do 3-5 years, then what? Wait for promotions and when those become harder, what is the sitution outside? Do outside PM jobs open up easily for you? Are you able to find roles with decent TC outside? Or you have to take a unicorn pm job? How satisfying is a GAF job? Do you have the impact on products and revenue when there 10s of PMs per product and you are just handling a feature ( hub vs cog in the wheel)? #Google #facebook #amazon #pm #product #pm # #productboard #productmanagement productmanagement
I can speak for Amazon. Iโve been in the consumer space for 4.5 years and I have always acted as the product owner of a big product. The only โproduct โ you can find 10s of PMs is probably Prime or something. They are essentially huge. Having said that, there are a lot of non exciting PM roles at Amazon too. You have to find the right team and right leader.
Finding right team is a big thing that is always not easy to spot on
@Elaine are you a PM or PMT? Can I dm you to know more about PMT role at amazon?
