TikTok (ByteDance) Interview

I applied for a Product Manager role at TikTok but received an email from a recruiter asking to schedule a 45min interview for PMO (program manager officer) role. Is it common for tiktok to directly schedule interview without any initial call to discuss salary expectation or level? And what does a PMO role mean at TikTok, is it equivalent to Technical Program Manager at FAANG?

Interview process starts with call with recruiter. Likely the first step?

They have 50 recruiters and 10000 openings. I would bear with them

Same happened with me. Should be alright.

It may not last for 45 mins. It might be a default setting for a call.

It is always better to ask recruiter about the scope of that interview.

Are you currently a product manager or a program manager at Facebook?
