How technical is the technical product manager role at Amazon? I just got a message but my background is management consulting, such as growth strategy and operating model design, so I am as non-tech as it gets

I’m currently a project manager with 2 yoe looking to eventually pivot into the product management role. I want to take a certificate course. Would it be best to do a ux/ui course to understand product design more or just a product management certificate? My work is paying for it and I want to take advantage of it.

Recruiter from Amazon reached out to me for a Senior Technical Account Manager role. I’m curious if I should entertain the inquiry. I’m not actively looking but I feel like this can be a big opportunity. Current TC is ~245k. Thoughts on Amazon exceeding significantly?

Has anyone done interviews as a hiring manager and would like to share tips/ things to watch out for interviewees? What have you seen that impressed you? Or turned you off? It’s been awhile since I interviewed.

What do you look for in a team or company?
I'm currently job hunting, and as a senior software engineer, it looks like I'll have many options. What questions would you ask the hiring manager or team members to understand the culture of the team?
Specifically I'm looking for: collaborative work environment, focus on mentorship, interesting technical challenges, good leadership/management, little-to-no work drama.
What do you wish you had asked your boss during the interview?
Thanks!

Being recruited for Deloitte M&A/Human Capital as a Manager. What’s the TC for that position does anyone know? They’re asking me what I want, and I’d like a point of reference other than what I currently making (TC $205k as a Manager at Accenture Strat)

Had an initial convo with the recruiter for a Sr Product Manager (Technical) role at Amazon onsite in Seattle (no remote) and he said the avg all in package they’re targeting is 180-190k. That’s 50-60k less than avg than what I’ve been seeing on fb and levels. I know that the band goes all the way up to 300k also. Currently making 200k all in and in a city 35% cheaper. The role is also a perfect fit for my background (7 yrs related experience), 3-4 yrs of other work experience.

PSA for folks looking to break into Tech: Now is a great time to make moves into big tech in all roles. I am a hiring manager with visibility into many open roles, and we are struggling to get the right candidates to accept. Candidates all seem to have many competing offers right now - very candidate friendly environment.

If you are interested in breaking into tech, here's some comp bench marks for biz roles:
<3 YOE:150k
3-5 YOE: 200-250k
4-8 YOE: 250-300k

Many roles work 40-50 hrs / week

I am being extended an offer soon from another company. How would you go about negotiating a signing bonus? The signing bonus is because I will be leaving my 2021 bonus on the table if I accept this offer. Also, who do you usually negotiate with - hiring manager or HR?

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?

Hello! I'm currently a product designer at a startup and we're currently hiring for a Lead Product Designer. I've been helping my director write up an interview format and was wondering if there was anything different about lead designer interviews? When I was going through the interview process at my company I had the following steps: phone screen, hiring manager screen, onsite (portfolio review, design collab, stakeholder collab, eng collab). Any additional info will be much appreciated!

Compensation and choice question.

Just got a verbal offer as a Senior Manager at a B/C round startup. Role would be in Product Strategy for their key product (Hardware) in a hot field. Would be based in NYC. Offer is 170k + equity which is currently being decided - was only told it would be sizeable.

Currently have 5 YOE. To complicate things I also got accepted to MIT Sloan. Is this a fair offer, and good enough to skip MBA?

Manager at Slalom. I've received an offer from a boutique that specializes in D&A work and does more ML work as well. The offer is lower TC (180k -> 160k) with a similar level of responsibility (mix of hands-on, engagement/people leadership, and biz dev). Is it crazy to take the offer? I generally like Slalom but feel like a lot of the technical work I do in my market isn't super interesting. There are growth opportunities here but not sure if it keeps good exit options open later.

Had a final round interview on 12/15 (wed) and it’s been a week and a half. I was told I should hear back by last Wednesday either way but I didn’t hear anything yet. I had positive feedback from the hiring manager during the interview but now I feel a bit upset. Should I follow up at this point?

I have an interview for a digital marketing manager position, and this round is technical.

I am studying now, but wondered if anyone can give me some good questions that I should study up on that you think a good digital marketing manager should know?

It would be email marketing, paid ads, analytics, and Social Media marketing.

I am a Senior Manager at KPMG, about to be offered a Senior Manager role at Deloitte. Consultant with 9 years of Big 4 experience.

How much should I negotiate for base salary?

Looking to pivot into consulting roles in the future (T2/T3)

I am a manager at a micro mobility startup. I have been doing well here. Ridership in my region increased by 3X in a market now worth $8-10 Million. It's now the fastest growing market across the company in a matter of few months.

Past Experience: Amazon Area Manager led big teams (100-150 Associates) during peak/prime season.

Do I quantify my resume & focus on my impact as a manager? Any Suggestions or referral would be welcome!

Any insight into the Oracle Healthcare Program Manager position?
Currently a Senior Clinical Consultant with Cerner with over 15 years of program management experience. Looking at what the comp of a manager is. A referral would be nice too.
