Trying to find a role at Google, salesforce, AWS or any other tech company (or media) in bizops/strategy or program management. 3 years Big 4 experience in program management, 5 years industry as a project manager before that in consumer goods/lifesciences.
I've had no luck, so far all rejections and it's been like 2 months and I'm worried about getting the axe.
Any help would be appreciated, resume review, referal, a simple high-five or hug.

Have you been getting referrals?

What levels are you looking at at those companies?

You should ask for internal input on job roles to see what levels they are. Often times it may say 5 years experience but they’re expecting you to have directly relevant experience, so experience form another industry isn’t necessarily valid.

I suggest trying to apply to lower roles and seeing what your success rate is there. For context I came in to microsoft as a L60 after 3.5 years post undergrad. Felt like it was low for my experience but I got promoted within half a year so it worked out and am on track making 62 before the 1.5 year mark. 61-62 is post MBA

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
