Is Google a good place for marketers? Heard Google doesn’t value marketing as much as some other tech companies (e.g., seems like SaaS companies care more about marketing)

It depends how you define "good place".

G1 is right that Google doesn't care too much about marketing. Google is an engineering-led business. Resourcing, attention and compensation reflect this.

But if you are in marketing at Google, you would have compensation higher than most places, great office perks, good wlb, and generally good culture.

What counts as a "good place" for you?

Thanks G2, yeah I meant more in tech marketing. For example, I heard PMMs at Stripe drive the product roadmap together with the PM and they get paid quite well. At Salesforce, they also get paid extremely well due to B2B SaaS relies heavily on marketing and sales, and seems like many of their execs come from that background as well as product management

This is very much my impression. I used to work for one of the marketing teams and my impression was that marketing is not valued and is often massively underfunded. As a result, PMMs do the bare minimum when they can, and that's all they have the time and resources to do.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
