    Controversial opinion: FB using RPM to get diversity hires.

    Had a cheeky search on Linkedin to look at all the RPM hires over the past few years. Every single one of them has been a woman and more likely than not, a woman of colour. I even watched a video where a current FB PM said that when she went for RPM they asked her to redo multiple interviews, I’m pretty sure no one else gets that opportunity unless they are trying to hire a specific candidate set. Thoughts?

    • Also don’t feel bad about missing out. It’s way harder to get an RPM job that a regular PM job at FB. Crazy volume of applications.

      Thank you for this. It’s so hard to get a PM role without PM experience, I thought this could be a good chance to transition

      Woow! I did my masters in Computer Science and co-founded two startups back in India and currently PM at Morgan Stanley. Maybe if we could get any feedback- we can improve going ahead. I have emailed the recruiter asking about the feedback- I don’t think they’ll reply anyway

      Were you able to get feedback from the recruiter?

  • Would it make sense in any circumstance to apply to this with some PM experience?

      It’s pretty clear on the RPM site - more than 1yoe as a PM disqualifies you from this role, all other experienced hires are welcome.

      Buddy of mine was admitted for this July’s cohort - he’s got 5yoe in the military 1yoe in tech post MBA. Most common background is new grad but there’s definitely a range.

      Currently an RPM. I’d peg it at around 1/3 new grads, 1/3 with 1-3 YOE, and 1/3 folks with 5+ YOE or were in some special situation (military, founded startups that failed, internal transfers).

      A few folks in my class were SWEs at their previous company. The only hard requirement is you can’t have too much PM experience

    So many applied with referral lol. I applied without one Tuesday last week, had my recruiter call earlier this week, and am now scheduled for video interview with a PM in 2 weeks.
