Going through the Google interview process for the second time this year 8 months apart. Was informed that the PgM interview is only going to be a 3 interview loop this time - Anyone aware of this process? Has it always been only 3 interviews for PgM? How do we know its a tech or non-tech PgM? The role requires to have some technical abilities

Ask your recruiter if this is on the PgM ladder. This is on an Engineering team. We also differ between PgM and TPM. The latter is expected to read and understand code at a SWE L-1/2 while PgM is more about technical understanding/judgment.

Other non-tech program managers can be for HR or Finance as an example. This would be considered a Business role and on a different ladder. Hope this helps!

Sure, have you heard about 3 round PgM interviews?

Yes, that’s the standard. Based on performance, you might get more afterwards.

If you are in general pool of applucant you might also have team march if interviews and HC are positives. Good luck!

Thanks, I am interviewing for a specific team how do I know whether the team is on engg ladder or business ladder ?

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
