Do engineers who switch to management start at M1 at FAANG+ companies regardless of engineering experience, or is it based on total experience? Do they only hire either internally engineers switching or only hire external people if they have management experience? What suggestions do you have for people looking to make the switch? I'm not sure how much longer I want to keep coding.

I feel like Facebook needs to be removed from “FAANG” status and replaced with Salesforce, SAANG, or some other arrangement of the letters. Does anyone else feel this way?

Anyone ever wonder why Netflix is in FAANG? It’s the one company that’s not like the others. Netflix has one product, the others are software conglomerates. It should be FAAMG.

Amazon Proserve vs. Google Gtech vs. Google Contractor How do these stack up against each other in terms of experience and opportunity?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

Anyone from A&M here. Want to understand comp. structure, culture, etc.?

Transitioned into consulting post-MBA (1.5 years ago) and generally enjoyed the experience. Since I joined my comp has gone up ~13% and I’ve liked my project teams but in my most recent review talk my partner told me he thought I was ready to be promoted and had advocated for me but there was an HR rule against it and I was on-track to be promoted in 6 months. Since then I’ve learned that one of my classmates (started 2-3 months before me due to COVID) was promoted last cycle.

Those who thought COVID was sensationalized back in March, were vocally against business closures and lockdowns, and have since changed their mind - in a moment of reflection, why did you originally think that way? Going forward, what do you think could be done to prevent that attitude or perspective in others?

How hard is it to move between Sr Principal and Sr Director? Internally their the same “level” at my company… but I’m wondering if it will be hard to make that leap if I ever left? Context: I’ve had directs before and run large teams before, but will being an IC mean I have to go backwards in my next role if I dong stay internal?

New to options trading, been following this bowl a while and trying to get educated with courses on options alpha and TD Ameritrade. How many of yall are able to make consistent extra income from options trading? I’m not expecting BC wins but was hoping after some practice for a little side income to make the no raise year a little less painful. Just wondering if it’s more of a gamble then anything except for the exceptional few...

Not really about applications, but for those doing PT MBA and currently interviewing for other jobs, do you tell the hiring manager/HR you are starting the program in the fall (or currently going through it) Does it help your candidacy to say this or better keep it shut? Thanks
