If you have an idea and no product right now you have nothing except your creativity. If you think your idea is valuable there’s two paths you could take: If it’s novel, try to patent the idea and then license the patent. If you walk into a meeting with an idea and no patent, they could say thank you and then build it on their own. Look at what happened with the Winklevoss twins when they tried to hire Mark Zuckerburg to build their social networking idea. or Build the idea into a business and establish that it works. This changes the financial calculus for the companies. Also realize that the bright people working at FAANG have ideas all the time but they may never get developed into products due to prioritizing other projects. Apple would have to decide whether to run with your project or spend the money on their next top secret gadget. You could get hired as a product manager at one of these companies, but those jobs are managing other people’s products and almost never your own. When they look for product managers they’re not looking for product ideas but for someone who can ship things already in the pipeline.
