He worked at four Big Tech companies. Here's how he went from $200,000 post-MBA at Meta to much more at Google.

• Yung-Yu Lin navigated roles at Meta, Visa, Paypal, and Google over eight years.
• Lin's career moves were driven by his goal to become a product manager.
• His compensation increased with each switch as he leveraged competing offers for better salaries.

Yung-Yu Lin worked at four tech giants in the last eight years.

Every switch came naturally, all with eye toward moving out of engineering and into product management, he told Business Insider.

"I didn't have any strategy like: 'Hey, I need to switch jobs every two, three years, something like that," Lin said. "Every single switch had a slightly different reason."
