Amazon CEO Andy Jassy wants to change the ratio of individual contributors to managers. That's a strong signal big manager eliminations are coming.

I don't think it's a refusal so much as just an inability to perform critical thinking. For the overwhelming majority it looks like they never learned the skills. All they have going is rote memorization, ability to follow a document exactly, and nepotism. The ones that break out of that hole tend to be very good, but they're few and far between.

It got to the point in one job that I made them restate to me the action items I had for them, so I knew they REALLY understood the ask.

shyt was the only way I could feel confident that whatever came in my inbox overnight, wouldn’t require rework.

They loved to SAY they understood the assignment, when they really didn’t.

Is there anyone in here in tech on the hardware engineering and/or program/product management side?

If I can't get in via the MS/DS I'm hoping to leverage my Eng. Education. Seems they don't hire nearly
as many Hardware guys as they do software guys tho.

PM in tech.

PM in tech.

Did you make it to PM through an internal IC role? Or did you manage to get in through an application?

Application no PMP or Agile certs, but I have MBA.

That's what's up! Did you do a prestigious MBA (Top 15 or M7?) or was it just a regular state university type program?
If I can't reasonably exit the field I'm in within my goal period (2 years), I'm going to try the FEMBA program at UCLA
to flip into PM/TPM opportunities.
