How do I become a PM at a large company ?

Question

What is the best path to become a Program Manager at a large company (like Microsoft) ?

Answer 1

Get a job at Microsoft.

Answer 2

Track down Bill and ask him. Oh maybe Ozzie is a better choice now that Bill is focusing on his charity work.

Answer 3

If you're good enough to become a PM at Microsoft, you wouldn't need to ask how. Microsoft would come looking for you.

Answer 4

You'll have to be a bit more specific. But this will probably give you a general idea.

Here's a post I wrote a while back about interviewing at Microsoft.

This is probably worth a read too.
