Is BizOps at FAANG or a Product Manager position more prestigious (regardless of company)? Early in my career, want to maximize exit options

PM no question.

like

BizOps is a back office function and a cost center. A PM sets the direction and owns a revenue generating asset, regardless of company size.

This is not always true

Im actually surprised by these comments. Some people forget that FAANG are huge companies and you have to take each role/business unit on a case by case basis. At Apple, Direct Procurement Strategy is part of Biz Ops for example.

like

Actually /you’re/ oversimplifying by saying that PM would /always/ win when I just provided you with an example where it doesn’t. Business ops is also a nebulous area, but it often overlaps with biz dev/strategy which are profit drivers. Direct procurement is also a profit driver (albeit not a revenue driver).

Even like PM at a small/midsized tech company? Wow that’s surprising

Product Manager easily

PM dude.

Ok- what about biz dev and strategy though? Would a strategy role at FAANG be better than PM?

Also worth looking at

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
