I hear about Product Management being one of the favored roles to transition to after consulting. How so career growth and pay in companies like Google and Amazon compare with consulting?

And does it matter much if you transition out at Manager vs. SM level?

🍿

For PM, title doesnt change. Pay is just 1 notch below SW engineering at top tech companies like Google and Amazon. They usually expect a significant technical background.

Super well compensated.

Compensation is more tied to the complexity of tge product you are managing vs managing a large team.

Question is if you can make Partner money longer term if you go down the Product Management path?

Yes. We need to remember tech salaries are usually higher than consulting.

Director Product of top Tech company = MD / Partner.

Probably need to be VP at a smaller tech company.

According to glassdoor, 250k+ base in 2010. Plus im sure a significant amount of equity.

Hi!

Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
