How technical is the technical product manager role at Amazon? I just got a message but my background is management consulting, such as growth strategy and operating model design, so I am as non-tech as it gets

For whatever role is its, youll likely need to be able to answer technical questions about the stack/solution. If you're not comfortable getting asked those questions with solid answers, then a non-technical role would be more fitting.

Just made a similar switch coming from
D strategy and ops practice.
TPM requires an overall understanding of EA rather than minute details of each component.
Surprisingly my interviews were focused on TOM, driving desired outcomes, experience working with C suite execs , cross functional collaboration and how comfortable i am to talk to business n dev alike.

Note, this is PM-T, not TPM. Very very different

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.

I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer?

Thoughts on how to approach this?
