I’m currently a regional team lead for the project management division at my company and the job is starting to get old and boring. I love what i do as a PM and manager but want to venture into Tech from construction. Just got my PMP certification from Cornell, looking for growth and would love an opportunity at google. Any recommendations on how to make the transition into tech? Should I expect entry level pay?

Look up the program manager roles, likely non-tech roles, and start to assess what skills are transferable. We don’t do a lot of project management, it is much more holistic programs.

In full transparency PgM roles are not in abundance at Google, even less so in NYC, and generally you need several years of experience.

Broadly speaking, a PgM at Google is someone who can scope and drive an ambiguous program, develop cross-functional relationships with UX, Eng, and leadership, drive impactful work, have proven results, and accomplish product goals.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
