Technical program managers at FAANG, would anyone mind describing the level of technical aptitude you had to show in the interviews? I have an interview with Google but do not have a technical background at all. Have heard program manager doesn’t require the aptitude that product would. How true is this?

Any role (except sales) requires basic tech understanding and aptitude - if not during interview then for sure during day to day job.

Expect a lot of technical judgement questions. Like what technical aspect did you leverage in making a decision?

Funny story for the bowl… behold, the Faketona. my best friends dad called him saying how he got him an amazing watch for $100. “Where’d you get it?” My friend asks, knowing full well what the answer was likely to be. “A website ending in .cn” his dad replies. My friend had me try it, without us knowing that my wrist is bigger than his, and the only way to get it off is to pull the bottom side of the clasp toward your wrist. One busted finger later and i got it off. Never touching another rep

Today I just signed an offer with a pay increase of 84%. It came after 4 months of job hunt, getting offers and being rescinded, and even 3 companies that rescinded after I signed. Anxiety hit, i cried, lost sleep, dealt with internal struggles, inferiority complexes when I saw peers moving to their second jobs after a mbb consulting / banking role, but ultimately I am so glad that I did not give up on myself. I still have to worry about the visa part, but for now lm gonna relax for the weekend

Which offer would you take?

EYP TSE Senior Consultant: 180k +15% expected bonus +30k signing.

AlixPartners EI Vice President: 180k +$55k bonus, no signing bonus.

Leaning towards EYP since the WLB will probably be better with less travel. I’m OK with travel, I just expect to be better compensated for having to do so often. My goal is to stay in consulting long term.

Currently a manager at a B4 making less than both these offers.
