How can I, a financial services consultant with 1 YOE in credit lending and 1 YOE in TAS M&A, and a finance masters, transition to an associate product manager position at google when I have absolutely no coding experience or knowledge?

I know a job like that at a place like google is cream of the crop but I see people on LinkedIn all the time who have non technical degrees/non coding degrees land these jobs.

Hoping I can shoot for similar success

I’m not super familiar with Google’s APM program but to transition to PM in general, you should have strong demonstrated interest (personal projects) or experience in product management (from consulting). And even then, it’s highly competitive so make sure you have a good network for referrals. Your finance experience is not a good fit right now

Do you have an example of a type of personal project that is product management? Thanks for the message

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
