For a given non-technical candidate with 10 yoe and a top 10 MBA, what is the ranking for how much FAANG+Microsoft would pay that person in these roles?
1. Product Strategy
2. Partnerships/Partner Solutions Management
3. Product Marketing Management
4. Strategy & Operations
5. Program Management

Is the order from most to least compensation 1, 4, 2, 3, 5?

This will vary by co.and not all FAANG have these roles (esp. 1 and 4…I think only M has 1 distinct from 4 outside PM/PMM roles), but I think:

1 (replacing strat. with prod. management), 3, 2, 4, 5.

If each role requires tech expertise, then: 1, 5, 2, 3, 4.

Generally, the closer you are to generating revenue (product) the higher the pay.

Hey look, another non technical person only interested in prestigious tech firms from a top 10 mba asking about pay instead of role fit / day in the life. This should go well 🤦‍♂️


Define non technical for me. Have you worked with product teams before?

Forgive me as I likely wont be answering the questions as you want me to. I love the detail in your follow on post. To be blunt you need to think like someone in tech. Really think on this if you want this for the right reasons and if so how to articulate it. A few examples below:

1. tech is less prestige oriented than consulting. While it is definitely true that stanford gets a ton of attention, we do not limit hiring to M7. Signaling “top 10 mba” in your blurb shows you dont understand what is important to us and don’t share our values. I was much more interested on what you have you did in product strategy in mobile banking than where you went to school.

2. Point blank: Saying you are “Non-technical” is the equivalent of applying to BCG and saying you are a non-consultant. We definitely know whether you code in the skills section, and there’s multiple functions that are “technical” but “dont code”. Heck microsoft has AI/ML, IoT, and PowerPlatform solutions that are no code…


3. Saying you want FAANG + M falls flat. Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft are all very different. if you are trying to convince us of your interest…yet are just rattling off tech companies by market cap . If you want social media why not Twitter? If mobile banking why not square? Etc.

4. With all this in mind we get to comp…I am honestly at a loss here how I’d rank those role groups for you. Every company pays differently, leveling is critically important, and you are giving us your third signal that you just want comp / prestige and not fit.
