Is taking a Program Manager role post consulting/post top MBA a short-sighted move in regards to career trajectory? Or should I wait out for a BizOps opportunity? My fear is being type casted as just a PgM going forward. This would be at a FAANG if that matters.

I withdrew from a PgM position at a FAANG after I landed a BizOps position at another Big Tech because I had the same fear. Seems like BizOps opens more doors in general (including the product side), whereas PgM exit opps are more limited. I’m sure people internally transfer from PgM to other departments, but seems like it may be more difficult. I believe Technical PgMs find it easier

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
