Ever get annoyed when your friends/acquaintances at FAANG say you should probably apply to SM role than the PPM role because they think PPM is too far out for them? Like why do they ask you to apply to a smaller role when you know you’re 100% capable of the PPM because working with D as a Manager about to become SM might mean you already might’ve meant you dealt with more challenges and trends in the market? Or, is it just me?

Edit: it bothers me probably because I have to explain my role/story at D to “qualify” for referral before even getting actually interviewed by the hiring managers and what not! 😬

They could be looking out for things you dont have visibility into. That said, I think that most people don’t like to bring their friends in as their new bosses

Yea makes sense. But, why would I bore down a friend talking about my workplace/work and show off on a regular basis. That doesn’t mean you’re not “capable”

Haha needed to rant 😂

More rant? Why won’t they just refer you and if you get rejected, you will be happy that you’ve at least tried but if you get hired, it’s a win-win for both of you, no?

Ummm what’s ppm???
