I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

1) Time zone conflicts are par for course. Not too bad if you’re PT

2) There is some loss there when you’re team is not in-office.

3) Even FAANG has offshore teams. Once you get into the recruiting pipeline, it’s a matter of your own performance during the interviews. Whether you worked with a tight-knit team in three cubicles in SF or remotely with teams across the ocean doesn’t really matter.

Will you be the only one located stateside? Or is there a team? If it's just you, then I'd say your concerns are valid.

Nope, there are other PMs in the US

In my experience (EST and CST), working with India based teams can be challenging due to time zone differences. We have a limited overlap window in the mornings and it can take a lot of effort to stay aligned, collaborate, and strategize together. Our India based team already works on the later side, and most of our overlap is used for status updates, urgent questions, etc.

No I think it's more about how you work in general - even with a remote team, you'd likely have the same struggles (sans timezone issues) so really, it's about how you adapt
