I have applied to Program manager and technical program manager roles at Google. I am going through suggestions here and saw some interview tips . That’s being said I have a very technical background , but it’s not coding . It is more in lines of monitoring metrics , looking at real user data , preparing material dashboards, identifying bottlenecks and supporting teams in making their product better . I understand the cloud concept cause I led the effort . Am I eligible for TPM?

The T for TPM is at SWE level -1 or -2 depending of level.

How technical will the interview be . I am keeping a positive mindset , I am very coachable and I have led teams and worked with engineering teams . So my basics are clear but I wonder if a high tech MIT grad will ask me coding questions,.. I was never into coding . I am people person and I like visual representation and I am eager to learn. I have worked in ambivalent projects and learnt a lot sometimes the hard way ..

MIT grad comment because in my head I imagine the fastest minds being developers at google 😝
Please suggest !

What teams have you applied to?

Cloud productivity .

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
