    PMT is Product Manager - Tech (not Program).. and Amazon values SA much higher than PMTs, you just need to look at the 2022 PCSs to verify that

  • I’ve debated this myself, leaning towards SA. Keep up technical chops and close to the revenue stream. My only worry is L6 is where most end at so idk what exit opps there are. Also the travel and not every company needs SAs.

    TPM seems good as well and every company has tpm, but judging by blind isn’t a very respected position. But exit ops seem good, can go to SDM or PM probably more easier than SA.
