Aiming to start apply for positions at FAANG. What type of roles should I target? Ex-Mckinsey senior EM, LBS MBA, 2 years at a government backed VC and 3 years of investment banking (when I started). Refferals would be great - I am thinking of roles in strategy and ops but I don't know which positions.

Try and narrow down what parts of strategy + ops you find interesting + match your skill set.

There are corp dev teams, PMM, sales strategy, product strategy, GTM, program management. Then go apply, you'll need to have a pretty tailored resume because these positions are just so competitive.

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.
