I am looking to transfer internally from technical solutions engineer (TSE) to the APM program in the next intake ( 2022 ).

Has anyone been successful in moving from TSE to the APM program? Or even applied ( being a TSE ) ? It seems it is mostly SWEs attempting to transfer internally.

I have been working at Google a year now. I have a 1st class honour BA degree in Business studies and 1st class honour MSc degree in Computer Science. I donโ€™t have much relevant professional experience though..( summer internship in Kpmg and various part time jobs ) so I think I am lacking in this area. Is there anything I can do over the next few months to improve my CV to make me a stronger candidate for the program?

Would love some information about the above from current APM or someone who transferred internally. Thanks!

      Isn't the APM program tiny? If they mostly hire externally or from interns, there's probably not a lot of people who've transferred into it...

      have you looked at the general PM rotator process? I know a lot of people who have done that

      Yes! That is my back up plan. The problem is I am an L2 atm. Promotion timeline is quite slow I have been working here a year and have been told I will prob get promoted in another 6 months ( promotion committee told me I need to sustain the performance I am at to prove I am a L3 ). That means to get to a L4 it prob will be another 2-3 years and then will have to try switch into PM. Itโ€™s a much longer process if u are a lower level.

    I know FB has a whole page on internally transferring to RPM that outlines the entire process and lists past folks who have done it whoโ€™d be willing to answer questions.

    Maybe look for that in yโ€™allโ€™s internal wikis?
