Would you recommend the program manager roles in Google cloud? How’s the culture?

Program managers have vastly different responsibilities (it’s really a catch all role) so really depends on the role and the team manager.

I started as a program manager in Cloud this year and have had a good experience so far. Good WLB, like my colleagues, no complaints. Others on my team seem to like it. I’m in S&O FYI, and like others said it’s probably team dependent. Not sure what teams to tell you to avoid since I’m new

Cloud is big, so different teams may warrant different experience. That being said, I hated mine experience there

Im sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience but also a bit relieved since I had a choice between joining a cloud team vs another PA and choose the latter. The idea of cloud being such a fast growing org lends itself to being potentially beneficial for career development and growth, which I’m sure it is, but the pain points and downsides don’t seem worth it at least for me.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
