People work at Amazon? I thought they chill in FAANG? 😂 
  
 On a serious note, it is not the conventional PM role and it’s a lot of facilitating work.

I have a friend in that role and she hates it.

Software Developer

Can you elaborate? Like reasons for hatred?

Product Manager

Actually PM Run programs 👀 
  
  
 On a serious note. Whenever some issue/need pops up. Amz will create a PM role, PM will be responsible for gathering requirements and create solutions. In operations world they'll try to automate the solution and the role will be elimated or PM will be assigned with some other work  
  
 Example : if tomorrow Amz wants to launch cab services in India. One program manager will be hired and he will start working on all fronts including creating org structure, sourcing cabs, pricing, bla bla bla... Whenever he/she sees issue within the program one more PM takes birth..  
  
 One liner. PM are bunch of problem solvers with multiple areas of expertise.

I have been lately curious about the two PMs (Product Manager vs Program Manager).
If anyone can help with answer to these questions that would be great

Does your company have both roles?
If yes, are salaries for both on par.
If not, who gets more salary

Product Manager vs Program Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've 6 years of experience in B2C sales along with GTM strategy. I've been looking out for jobs for the past 6 months and I am getting interviews but somehow nothing is working out. 
My skill set basically includes stakeholder management, GTM strategy, revenue strategy, negotiation along with some knowledge of performance marketing. 

I've done BTech and do not have a master's degree. 

I've been contemplating doing some courses but I'm confused between Program Management and Product Management roles. 


Can the Grapevine community give me some guidance here.

Human Resources

In last 3 years, I have switched 3 companies. I hate my current company especially considering my precious companies. Also, I cannot go back to my organisation because of location constraint. 
Can anyone has any advice? Highly frustrated 😭

Frustrated PM

all 3 terms are thrown around. What is the difference?

What is the difference between Product Manager, Program Manager and Project Manager?

When asked at the end of the interview, what questions do you generally ask the interviewers? There can be two types of interviewers, one from the PM org and the other from the engineering org (in later rounds) and usually senior folks. What type of questions can be asked to both types of panels?

PM interviews: What questions do you generally ask interviewers after the interview?

Hi folks,

I work at a startup (been 2 years now) as a PM. From the last 12 months, my work has mostly revolved around strategy, business intelligence, program/general mgmt. I am now planning to quit and move on. However, I am not sure if I want to continue being a PM, because it's very overwhelming honestly and I actually enjoyed the last 12 months as a generalist. 

Need career advice from fellow PMs whether to pursue program mgmt/strategy/general mgmt/Chief of staff/new initiatives roles or devote 100% of my time to prepare for PM interviews and also try to make up for the last 12 months by doing side projects and maybe even interning under a senior PM 

Some pointers about me:

1. I have 2 YoE in PM. 
2. I have a CS degree from a tier 1/2 college
3. There is no particular reason to quit. Job is chill

Can PMs here please describe their day to day work? What kind of things do you work on? What scale of products/users do you deal with? Likes and dislikes about being a PM?

What does a PM even do everyday?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Let's face it. In some company (read mine) they are the gatekeepers of all things roadmap, obviousness, communication between engineers and business. While in some companies they are nothing but a left over thought acting no more than a typical Program Manager (Google and how Engineers have more say and power in roadmaps).

What are your thoughts on your PM?

Founders office / Program Manager roles

Growth Manager

I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks. 

I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers.
2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further.
Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering.
Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers.
One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote.
It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike.

Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs. 

For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed.
You will get something good soon.

Worth waiting for right offer (100% hike with remote)

Damn you man! Something I am manifesting 🤞 

Congratulations on new role! Do share your learnings through the journey
