Any thoughts or experience working as a product manager or product owner under a director of engineering? I'm interviewing for a Sr. PO role with a mid-size/large finance company, and the hiring manager is the director of engineering.

Hi - I am a current PO of a mid-large size financial company. We have POs that report directly to the IT directors, as well as POs that report to business lines. I fall under the latter. Personally, I think POs have better support when they roll up to IT directors as there's a lot more support and understanding when issues arise. Business is less forgiving.

I would also note that roles reporting to the IT directors tend to have higher expectations of technical acumen than on the business side. Just make sure they actually want you to perform PO role only. It's very possible that they want you to do double duty as an engineer and a PO and could be why they want you to report to the director of engineering.

I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

First American Financial Corporation I have attended two rounds of interview in First American Finan Company last week and have received an email that I have been selected in their interview process. The talent acquisition team did not send me an offer letter instead have sent me a BGC form which I submitted yesterday. I found it very strange as usually first offer letter is rolled out and then BGC check happens if the candidate accepts the offer. Today there was no communication. Can anyone tell me if they faced this situation?TIA
