FB fam, I want to go back to industry after 3 years in consulting. Which is a better choice: hands-on tech role (Software Engineer, I haven’t coded in a while) or a Program Manager role. Target FAANG!

Program Manager. What I’ve noticed about coding is that techniques keep changing and the edge/speed is gone once you’re out of your 20s, but also, you went into consulting for a reason. You never needed to leave industry if what you wanted to do is code. Program Manager is a mix of your coding background and your business facing background.

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

Should I refer my SO to Google?
(Does she have a real shot?)

She's a Project Manager at a global auto parts manufacturer.
Her role is 30% technical, 70% business (meaning she has good problem solving and stakeholder mgmt skills).
5 YOE+Degree at a top engineering school in Europe
My experience at Google made her interested in joining the company, but we never really acted on it.
Could she be a good fit?
If so which areas/orgs?

(Also, are there any rules against it?)

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
