Becoming a manager in large enterprise companies is basically an entry-level position all over again..
Except people care even less about your job experience since you're "leadership" now and are expected to toe the line no matter what.
At faangs not even directors get a head up before the night before on plans. The only ones that can set strategy are VPs and above.

That's why as a journalist you cannot use it a legit source. But usually you get an advanced warning.
This comes with the cost of the paranoia induced by seeing the corporate underbelly
