Mostly market data and analytic tooling so I spoke to traders and quants daily. I sat down with the MD for coffee and by the end of it he sent an email to HR for a transfer.

Wrote code in highschool/college. Played sports. Hired back when little bit of both were huge pluses.

Started at a very entry level job at a trad desk

*trade desk

Very boring here.... Had an interest in public markets and thought trading floors and multiple screens are so cool. So applied for all the sales and trading jobs during junior year internship season and rest is history

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

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…
