Hey, I have 4 YOE and currently a manager at PwC and have been managing teams for a little over a year now. My role mainly consists of leading teams of engineers deliver MVPs to our clients.
If I wanted to exit to Google or Facebook (Meta) what role would align for me? I was looking at engineering manager roles but unsure if that’s too senior for me.
Hi , how the value momentum company would be??

Dust off your knee pads
Saucy!
It’s the best role in my opinion.
Learn to delegate stuff to staff and seniors. Though don’t be bossy about it.
SM and PPMD are technically both senior to M since we are splitting hairs here. No one said SM and PPMD are the same role. It seems like you may have missed the point of the comment and that’s ok.
You were likely already doing some if not all of the role. My experience transitioning into that role is your first year or two, keep your hands dirty and focus on managing the staff and seniors on your team and helping them develop both hard and soft skills. Your goal should be to start building out your own team with individuals that can perform one level above their current role.
When you get into year 3 and beyond, you need to start operating more like a senior manager, that means still leading workstreams but also really focusing in on engagement economics. You want to be operating like a senior manager and using your hard skills to not only deliver projects but also sell.
How much did your comp go up to if you don’t mind me asking
The raise for the promo is around 15%, plus your regular annual salary increase (if any) stacked on top. For me it was around 20-ish back in 2024.
