Great question — and one that doesn’t get enough honest discussion. For mid-to-senior level roles in PM, PMM, or strategy, I’ve seen the average search take 4–6 months, but that can stretch longer depending on market conditions, how niche your specialization is, and how much flexibility you have around comp/title/location.

Anecdotally, I've had friends in FAANG-level roles spend closer to 9 months, while others landed offers in under 3. It also really depends on how actively you’re applying vs. waiting for referrals or the right openings. Curious what others here have experienced?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
