If a senior role is a must, keep in mind that F, G, and Apple can downlevel candidates often. Take a look at their job listings for for info on the experience they’re looking for. If you expand being just FAANG to other Big N companies then you’d have more options.

I’ll paste my notes on the kinds of experience I’ve seen on LinkedIn job postings:

I guess not so concerned about FAANG more focused around a respected product management course.

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
