Currently at a data agency. Started interviewing with Tik Tok for a PM role. It's a great fit for my background and if I get it it'll be at least 2x my current salary. I'd have to leave nyc tho and I'm not a fan of the 996 culture. I've heard the positives are massive career growth though which is what I'm after. I'd really prefer to PM at a firm in nyc instead. Anyone able to refer me to PM roles here? My general profile: 8 yoe, 3.5 in product eCommerce/analytics background with knowledge in finance Not picky about the firm as long as it's not a tiny startup and pays 160k + #Google #meta #janestreetcapital #dotdash #stubhub #amazon #salesforce #gopuff #doordash #uber #lyft #zocdoc #bubble #take2games #citadel #block #rokt #grubhub #thetradedesk #crunchyroll #bcg Alright that's enough tags lol
Don’t they have a NY office? Can’t you work from there? Also do you speak Chinese / heritage?
Speak cantonese, can speak fake mandarin and read conversationally but not business level. They do have an NY office but the ecommerce positions are all based in the west coast
They reached out to me as well but I wasn’t trying to move to San Jose. Would’ve loved to work there and 2x my base as well
It’s not that different from the street where you forget about having a life for a few years but gets pushed against your limit and make some big bucks along the way. And yeah, not strictly 996 but pretty close. And prepare to travel a lot.
Why so much travel? What is it about TikTok’s business that would require regular travel?
Interesting. Did you travel as an engineer or were you in product at some point? I guess the biggest part for me would be relocation. But then it's not often that this type of opportunity comes along either
