Would you take a product marketing manager role at Facebook or a strategy and operations role at google? Same pay, location, etc. Future goals are to go into product management and own my own P&L

PMM to PM is a much more common transition than S&O to PM. As a PMM you work directly with the PM so have much more visibility into their work and overall network with PMs that will help you transition as well. Would take the FB PMM role for sure.

like

Agreed. I’ve seen the PMM to PM transition happen more often.

Is the Google role in BizOps or BU level Strategy and Operations? I ask because if you’re in BizOps specifically they have a formal program where you can do a 6 month PM rotation and then transfer at the same level, but I don’t think that exists in S&O.

like

BU level strategy and operations - that would have been great

Few questions - what are the exit opps for S&O roles at Google? Could you still pivot to a PM role? What does progression look like for the PMM role at FB? Genuinely asking to help give you an informed opinion

like

S&O is not a direct pivot to PM. You'd be starting PM at nearly entry level when you decide to leave. Had a friend leave Google PMM to senior PM (growth) at another large tech company.

like

What is your background if I may ask that you’re qualified for both PMM and S&O roles? Despite me having the title I am posting under, I was more applicable forS&O roles and PMM roles I applied to never interviewed me.

I think I agree with A2 here. I think the work that PMMs do has more overlap with PM than S&O does (at least in my experience working at FB)

What was the salary for these roles?

Are they IC5/ L5 roles?

Honestly just bcg and an mba - have never done marketing

Oh wow. I have actually marketing experience but didn’t do enough “real” marketing in consulting to be eligible for PMM jobs 😔 had to go the S&O route. Good luck!

Btw thanks for your opinion everyone!

Very helpful thread!

OP - ok to DM you a few questions? Just started my MBA and targeting PMM roles
