MBB vs FAANG? Discussions

Currently interviewing for a VC Associate role (pre-MBA), a FAANG PM Role, and have 2 Series A funded startup offers for product/growth. Does it make sense to wait until I can get MBB experience?

Post MBA - MBB vs FAANG product management role vs Startup Biz Opps role vs IB (2 year Associate) for getting into Venture Capital?

Currently at MBB (post mba) with an offer in FAANG in fin ops (170k) and in a PE backed company (210k) in their transformation office. Which to take? What kind of exits are there in transformation?

MBB interviewers: How often do you receive S&O candidates from FAANG applying to your firms, at the pre-MBA level?

Are interviews for Corp Strat/bizops at FAANG harder or easier than interviews for MBB?

🐠 fam - how’s FAANG sr prod manager screening different than consulting manager role with MBB? Anything out of the usual? Have an interview coming up soon and help will be great!

Dilemma Here: I want to get into Tech MC but don’t think I have the right educational background but if do go get it then I’m not shooting for Tech MC at this firm and will either go for MBB or FAANG

What salary can you expect after exiting from an MBB after 2 years no MBA? Looking at strategy/operation roles in NYC and SF at FAANG and other tech companies (e.g. Airbnb, Uber, Lyft)

MBB or FAANG (Ops role)? Similar comp structure

MBB folks, what’s the glamour with FAANG to you?

I ask because I have done multiple strategy projects for/with FAANG, and could likely get an offer, but I still want MBB 🤨

Am I missing something?

What’s that salary website that members post here on occasion for more accurate salary data from companies like FAANG Mbb big 4 and IB? Not glassdoor, not paysa, payscale, it’s not as well known

In both MBB and FAANG does a referral guarantee an interview or at least HR screening?

Is there anyone here who did a top Mba but then went back to work for two years for their original employer but then after that two years ended up exiting to either MBB or a faang type company?

Does anyone know anyone in the Cornell one tech mba? If Faang type companies don’t work out, do you think it’d still be possible to get into ib or mbb with this degree? Also, what are some other....

Looking for mentors in FAANG, MBB, and other Big 4. DM me please. 😀😀

Speaking purely from an economical perspective, would FAANG or MBB offer more $$ coming out of an MBA program? What about after 10-15 yrs?

Does work experience at FAANG or MBB look better for mba admissions?

How would you guys rank the masters in analytics or data science programs in the US? More pts given to the programs that send a greater amount of people to FAANG or MBB

On getting into FAANG. For those who made the switch, what are the typical roles from, say, MBB? How did you go about it? What's needed on the resume if I'm planning 12 months out? Lvl and pay?

I see a fundamental issue with consultant salary/role expectations when exiting. What do you expect when exiting MBB after 3, 5, 7 years post MBA? What's your target (VC, IB, FAANG etc.)?

FAANG or MBB? Have a couple of offers and debating. Role at FAANG is technical leader. Pay is same. Don't want to be in consulting long term. M/D level.

Anyone transitioned from non-FAANG tech to MBB? Currently working at a startup (unicorn status) and wanting to explore my options. Any insight on transition/qualifications/type of roles at MBB would be greatly appreciated! I’d ideally want to work in digital strategy.

about me: professional services consultant at a tech company, 5 YOE, masters in business management (non-MBA) from a reputable canadian school.

Thank you!

If you were at an MBA, would you rather take an MBB consulting offer or a PM offer at a non-FAANG company? Consulting offers more location flexibility (200K in Atlanta is nice), but Product seems like an attractive career path.

Coming out of MBB, any ideas as to what level product manager I would be able to get coming into FAANG?

Would be leaving as experienced associate, or Engagement manager.

Just starting to inquire as to what’s out there but any advice is appreciated!

I'm currently working as a Sr. Program manager at FAANG. 7 YOE overall experience (work and academic experience incl.,) across different domains with analytics and program mgmnt background. Interested in pursuing Engagement manager opportunities at MBB. Can you please help me out with the referrals? Also, I would like to what's the salary range, hiring process, WLB, growth opp., usually like for Engagement manager positions. McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group@bain& company

At its peak, mbb or faang? Why

Software engineer. I like coding and I was actually rated pretty strong after my first review. I want to get into tech strategy though. I’m not sure if I should set my goals toward being a FAANG software engineer or a MBB tech strategy consultant. Long term goal is to reach director/CTO level

I’ve been at FAANG for a year and due to the economic climate I’m considering going back to consulting but I’d rather work at MBB than Big4 if I’m going to do consulting.
Does such a switch happen often? I’m thinking about going to the technical wings of MBB companies like Quantum Black. I also have a non target school so don’t know about my chances.

MBB Human Capital or FAANG Product Manager? Both are in NYC and compensation is similar. I have 7YOE in risk management at an industry specific (tech) boutique investment bank.

To all you wonderful folks, a fundamental question: how does one break into PE Ops? Have 10+ yrs in top tech (FAANG) and 2 yrs in MBB as EM. Also, wondering if it makes sense to hold out for AP before a move?

Would you take a 15% pay cut to work for MBB vs. getting a 20% raise from FAANG?

I am now working in middle management for a retail product company.

Do you think it’s worth pursuing a job in MBB for Cyber? Not sure if the brand name carries over in this field. Alternative options are Big4 or security/tech companies (FAANG, Mandiant, etc.)

What are the top/desirable exit opps among MBB at PL/EM - PR/AP level? (PE ops? FAANG - what type of tole? Other?) Top/desirable based on a good mix of $/wlb/interesting work

Is it harder to get an MBB job or product manager role (faang) out of a top 10 MBA program

If I went from FAANG to MBB, would that be a bad transition if I’m interested in Data Analytics. QuantumBlack, Platinion, Advanced Analytics. Sure I’d probably become a SQL/Pandas monkey but I feel like MBB has access to the coolest data in the world and I miss being able to work with a variety of industries. I do hate making slides but MBB seems pretty serious about having dedicated Data Scientists/Engineers as SMEs.

Can anyone please help with a referral for companies in Middle East ( be it consulting or industry)? Recently had MBB final round interview and FAANG on-site , but unfortunately got rejected. But i wanna move to ME, so would be very thankful for any help 🙏
