Hey Peeps,

I'm here in Georgia and really want to work at Google. I'm an educator looking to pivot into a non-technical role.

I see all these flashy TikTok videos where people with no experience got Project Manager positions and make six figures just to eat, shop, and have 2 meetings a day. I know there has to be way more to such an interesting position. Can any of you give me any insight into what a PM's day-to-day is like a Google?

Client-facing copy decks.
We sold the concept, the campaign, the art direction, and some headlines. Yay. Now the client wants a copy deck for every media placement over the next 6 months. Thats fine. But labeling the obvious like "HEADLINE" in a document always seems to distract from the idea unless you're actually making the work. Curious if anyone has anecdotal advice on format, or just feels the same in general. I realize this is a stupid question, berating is might also be helpful.
