What’s your best FAANG interview story?
MBB Asia vs Big 4 NA? (SEA/India vs US)
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Are you a Chinese spy?

God yes. Why would you want to work at TikTok?
Chief
Don’t know. Don’t care. But I also wouldn’t want to work for any FAANG. And I don’t use their services (outside google for searches). It’s also a pretty well known sweat shop and you’re working for a Chinese governmental entity which I just find creepy.
Please don't waste your talent at TikTok
Depends on whether you want to be a PM or a consultant. I hear horror stories from people working at Tiktok, but MBB also has its fair share of work and sacrifices. But at the end of the day, look at what you’d like to do and what makes you happy and base your decision off of that. Another offer never hurts when it comes time to negotiate offers and bonuses.
Toxic management, crazy work hours, huge workload, very competitive/toxic work environment

ByteDance is consistently reported to be one of the most toxic places to work.
..by former US social media company employees LARPing as journalists.
The stories are greatly exaggerated.
Lols all this TikTok hype…what has life come to
They're literally a great company to work for don't know what your issue is. Do you sigh and post the same nonsense for FB or Twitter?

We have better WLB than tiktok
Depends, are you Chinese?
If you work at TikTok you’re going to kill any aspirations of ever having anything to do with the US government ever again.
Choose wisely
Like seriously just stop trying to be cool
PM at TikTok isn’t what you think it is fyi - it’s more of a PO/execution focused role as most product strategy will come from abroad.

How’s the comp comparison?

😂 TikTok would be the last place to go. Get ready for 996!
Never ever experienced 996 working there
