Got an interview with Google for a product owner role, have 20+ years of experience and already working as a Director for big tech company and ex-SM in Consulting. Not sure whether it would be a step up or down from my current role. Anyone gone through this scenario? Any advice?

This is what I see from the grades point of view, it doesn’t make much sense unless it’s L7 or above.

No director/SM from big 4 has joined Google at L8 or higher. Your best bet is L7. Most likely L6. In both cases your TC will be higher than what you make currently.

Would you enjoy that role more? If yes, and pay is better go for it. If you are not passionate about being a PO then leave it.

There's not enough info to say. Ask what level and salary range they are targeting.

I'd assume if you have the correct skills, you'd get L6/ L7, which is very senior in PM world.

MDs / small companies CEOs typically come in at L7.

What is your current compensation? Are you making over 500k / 600k? If so, probably not worth your time then.

Looking for an entry level remote tech position. Honestly not picky, current TC is 111k anything close to that would be appreciated.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
