"My primary goal is to get hired as the product manager for this new business." Pretty much the only ways this happens are: A) Big company buys a startup that's already successful in some way, and the CEO of that startup becomes the Product Manager, or B) Big company needs someone with deep expertise/knowledge in some domain/technology, because that person can execute better/faster on $initiative than anyone already at the company. A couple of other thoughts: - there is plenty of advice online and in books, about how to be a PM, and how to get a PM job at a FAANG company - even if you were already a PM at a FAANG company, it might still be hard to both (i) take an idea that wasn't on anyone else's radar, and get enough buy-in to form a new team, and (ii) become the PM on that team. If you were at Google, the two most obvious routes would be (a) using 20% time to demonstrate some success, or (b) applying to their internal incubator (Area 120).
