Hey! How did it go? Manager, PM is different from Lead or Group or even Senior. Manager is a people role whereas the rest are tech roles. So, your transition would be Junior PM > PM > Senior > Lead/Group > Principal > VP is you go into tech. Else Junior PM > PM > Senior > Manager > Director > VP if you go into people management.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I want to understand how does levels work in MasterCard. 
Context - I'm appearing for one interview and the designation is Manager, Product Management. Is it lead / Group PM or a senior PM role.
Also, if you can tell me what is the designation about this role. Next would be director or something else?

Want to know in terms of career level and designation?
For ex, what does Level 7 is called or level 6 is called and so on and so forth.

People & Culture Manager

A friend is evaluating product role there. How is the overall work and culture there in the product team?

Hey folks,
I'm wondering what kinda role I should pursue next after product management. 
I'm done with this role, works vary from company to company and team to team. It's tough to make people understand the difference between pre-PMF products & mature products, and how the metrics impact vary across the spectrum. 
And this completely changes the equation of your appraisal or your promotion as well. 
I don't see myself working in the same kind of role after 5 years.
So I'm wondering what kinda role I should look out for?
My general interests are more analytics & strategy centric. What do you guys think??

Where to go after Product???

Dear PMs and aspiring PMs 

Every company has its own hirerchy and designation and definition of what PO, PM, BA  is and lot of ambiguity is there. Can we please share what is followed and what we know to clear some of that..

In HSBC, for some of the teams, not sure about all..
They hire for BA role, at AVP and VP level. In Agile working group role, they will be called PO. And VP+1 boss in UK or other markets would be called Product manager. 

In the Startup I am currently working. Role and designations are not clear. They have lead PM, they have principle PM. Generally in market lead= principal. 

Similarly in EY, they hire typical BA profile at senior consultant, and deploy at client site as Senior PO for some clients and senior PM for some. 

Let's share what you know and reduce the information assymtry.

PM hierarchy ambiguity

Hey everyone, excited to be doing this AMA!

A brief about me, I work currently as a Director of Product at an Indian unicorn startup 

About my career: 
- Did my undergrad from IIT and then masters from an Ivy league school
- Have been in product for almost 10 years now - across 2 Indian unicorn startups and a publicly listed company

Would love to take questions on what it means to be a PM, growing within the role, building your career, and other things :) 

Will be back here at 4 pm and start replying
Shoot away!

AMA 🎙️: Hey all, I am pmsprint, Director of Product Management at a Unicorn in India!

So, I sent a mail to a recruiter to which she replied with this JD. The requirements seem similar to a product role but not completely. What do you think? Should i go ahead?

Is this a Product role?

Management has tried to underpay us all this time. We deserve to know what is the real salaries for our YOE? 

I am being paid 24.6L CTC / 2 YOE. What about you?

You are being paid fairly or above average.

Can someone help with what are the seniority levels of PMs at these companies?

For example - PM II at Uber is I think L4.
Just trying to understand if L4 is the right level at a certain years of experience.

PM Seniority levels in Uber, Amazon, Google, etc.
