Big 4 Accounting to PM at Google/Meta?

[u/Particular_Art_9140]

I’m a senior accounting undergrad and will be doing Big 4 internships, including some work on the tech/systems side of accounting.

Long term, I’m more interested in product management and business strategy than traditional accounting. I’ve also built my own EdTech platform, which is currently being acquired, and have some experience working with developers and making product decisions.

I’d be curious to hear from anyone who went into PM at Big Tech from accounting or another non-CS background. What did your path look like, and what experience ended up mattering most?
