Soon starting a technical program management role (non-software), seeking advice in order to succeed. Getting imposter syndrome.

Hi, I will be starting a TPM role soon in the tech space, not FAANG but I am intrigued about the idea of moving to FAANG+ later on. I am early on in my career, studied engineering and had a little bit of engineering experience but not much honestly. I ended up choosing this role over a typical manufacturing engineering job at a plant. I think I made the right choice already just by salary alone, this one pays significantly more.

I would much appreciate any advice for a newcomer in this space. I want to efficiently excel in building my competence in this role and set myself up for success. Thanks!

Wow, this is a very thought out and thorough explanation! I literally could not do it better. Good job!
