Hello all! I am looking to get some guidance on what level should I target and what firms would be a good fit given my background: undergrad: comp sci MBA: Strategy, Product Management and Analytics from NYU Stern YOE: 9 years of experience in technical program management. VP going towards becoming an Executive Director I am highly technical/understand the firm architecture really well, routinely help senior product leaders to help shape strategy and indirectly manage execution done by over 500 people on some of the best programs in my division. Appreciate your help!
Lol ignore him. Amazon takes top 50 MBAs for senior PM and OP likely could get an interview for PMt Facebook and Google might be tough, but not impossible. You’ll also get bottom to low bottom band. Can’t help you with leveling or anything. Best plan would be to start studying for Pm interviews, they’re their own beast. After you’ve put in that time, start networking with other PMs and recruiters.
Thanks! I am planning to use the following to network with Facebook/other firms’ PMs: - LinkedIn/in-mails to recruiters and PMs - Stern/Rutgers network of friends Anything else you would recommend to network?
Op where are you working now? Curious to know if you were able to break into PM roles. Thanks
