32F, 10 YOE at two big 4’s in both tech and HC. Tough decision and want input! Options:

1. Offer to go to Deloitte as SM $200k+
2. Admitted to NYU and Columbia full time Bschool programs - no scholarship at either
3. Admitted to Darden w more than half scholarship
4. Offer to go to Two FAANGS as a program manager, 150k base, 75k annual equity (non technical role)

I don’t love what I do but seems I could make partner in 3-5 years at D. Having tough time turning down Columbia Bschool or FANG.

Wow, you have the problem of plenty.

I would suggest talk to any of your recent good mentors to understand which is a better fit for your strengths.

Oh yes, Congratulations!

Thank you! Good problems to have, agreed.

10 YOE… I think an EMBA program would suit you much better and you’d get much more out of it. You’ll on the far upper end with your YOE… not sure it would be the most beneficial set up learning and networking wise (not to step on anyone’s foot, but the full time programs, in general, have less YOE and less seniority within an org, not sure it would make for a great experience in your case).

They are the same degrees, but same issue. Not sure you’ll get the most out of it. Part-time is very mediocre regarding networking (most people go home right away after class) and weekend, well, at that point you could just got for the EMBA, which makes most sense for you.

I'd consider, in order, 3, 1, 4, 2. Depends on your preferences obviously, but a half ride to UVA is really solid. That said, if your only goal with business school is future income, it's unnecessary since you're already looking at post b school salaries. Not making partner at D in 3-5 but it isn't out of the question to get there at some point.

That’s helpful. It’s 150k plus 15% plus the equity so it’s closer to mid twos for the PM opp. About the same that I would expect at Deloitte.

Congratulations if you are a male looking for a future female partner let me know jk lol/ no lol 😉😉😉😉

Woot woot crushing the game!

Seems like your true passion would be fulfilled by going to school and the other options feel safe. Follow your gut.
