I recently completed my last round of Amazon interviews for a Senior Product Manager role.

I received feedback that I didn’t show up as strong in technical experience but was offered 2 other roles as a Senior Product Marketing Manager that they thought I’d be a strong fit for.

I have 6+ years of Ecommerce experience with 2yrs of PM experience as a principal product owner. Any insight or advice on taking a PMM role from a PM role? Is it considered a “step down”? Is the Amazon name worth it?

I don't think it's necessarily a step down, just...different. The opportunity to work for Amazon would definitely influence my decision.

yeah that's what it sounds like to me, just a different team that's perhaps less technical (which is not the worst). I say it's worth exploring!

I'd say go for it, work hard, work on improving your technical skills if you can, and who knows - maybe a promotion in the near future. Congrats! You know how competitive FAANG is so don't feel like this is a demotion at allll

What company were you at before? It might be worth it for the big company name alone if you don't already have one to show.

OP how did you interview? Did a recruiter reach out?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
