How are amzn technical program manager roles viewed?

Interviewing and the pay is essentially the same ($250K) as consulting but I like the idea of getting deeper into tech and getting out of consulting.

I wouldn’t worry about what some random person who doesn’t do program mgmt thinks about the job. The exit ops are a good question. I recommend going on LinkedIn and searching what the current roles are of people who have previous roles/ company in Amazon. It somewhat also depends on what you want to do. Obvious exits would be program management roles in other companies, which I doubt will be difficult to transition to

We have a pretty good cohort of Amazon people on here. I would be interested in their feedback.

Viewed how? In terms of prestige or something? If you like the job/ role, go do it!

Good question. I'm not even sure =]

What are general thoughts on these roles?

I'm interested to hear if it is helpful in transferring eventually to another FAANG (unlikely given where I live) and where non-AMZN lifers in those ropes typically exit to?
