I`m referring to Product Management. PM me the Company name if you dont mind? I assume entire company is doing the remote stuff or just the nature of your area?

Damn that’s crazy. considering where your at now though that’s probably whatever lol. Can you talk more about your overall career progression in software? And any tips/advice for someone just getting in the field?Layoff due to lack of work
Thanks for the link to the system design course 'ill have to check it out.
What is your base salary without bonuses, stock options etc?Layoff due to lack of work
What's with these narcissistic threads on here where nikkas feel more important than they actually are. You ain't famous nikka and nobody on here wants to be your democratic agent ass. Talking about AMA.
OP skipped my question about Product roles

My bad bros, kinda been away from the forums dealing with real life for a week or so.
My progression has been pretty typical. Graduated with a comp sci degree, was a Software Engineer for a couple of years until I was promoted to Senior Engineer, then around year 7 I was promoted to Software Architect where I actually ran a few teams. This was all with the same company.
My advice for getting into the field. There’s two ways to do it: go to college and get a comp sci degree while also doing some internships or just gain experience doing freelance work by first building a portfolio. In this industry (specifally software development) experience means more than grades, certifications, and anything else. So even without a degree if you have some experience, whether it be job experience or experience contributing to open source projects or developing your own applications, this can take you a long way.
After you break into the industry, nothing but previous job experience matters.
Base: 160k
15% bonus
About 30k in RSU’s per year.
My bad bro, I haven’t even started yet, I don’t really know what’s going on as far as hiring especially on the product end. I’ll learn more in the coming weeks though and will let you if I see any openings!

Lesson of the thread is you gotta always leetcode if you are an SDE, congrats OP, solid RSUs
Congrats man, I’ve been thinking about getting into this even at my age. I’m 29 and am in stationary engineering and have always wondered if I could do more.
