Please advise to crack PM roles in Big Tech companies

I have 9+ years of work experience in Product Management, mostly across startups. I wish to experience working at BigTech/Faang companies. I don’t have an MBA. I graduated from IIT. Have no coding background. Serious and genuine advise would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  1. Openings are transparent - look at the opening that is most relevant to your previous experience
  2. Get referral from as senior product person as you can. Try 2-3 ways of getting it
  3. Getting interview is the hardest in my pov
  4. Once you have interview, enough material online on their processes and how to crack
  5. Be ready to trade off level or scope of work in large org
  6. Get in at the right level - don’t compromise here. It will take forever to move up once you get in. So get in at the right level
