Yeah ideo is sick. They do innovation consulting, and is THE brand in the space. Doesn’t have the most competitive pay, but is probably the most well respected brand for business design / HCD / innovation

Yes take an offer from IDEO. They’re the best and most well known for design thinking

Yea IDEO is pretty famous for design thinking and innovation. They worked with all the big names in that space.

Ya, know them well. Founder DK was my advisor in grad school. It's not about the money at IDEO, it's about the cutting edge projects you'll be working on not to mention the prestige. They see each other as family and will invest in you for the long term. That said, they expect exceptional results from their team. DK offered a me spot there, but I turned it down to go back to a husband in NY. Wrong move on my part.

Did you take the job? I'm personally struggling hard at my firm and would give anything to jump ship for IDEO.

No comp wasn’t ideal, but it’s a huge brand in the digital ideation space! Very talented people running things.

Seems like the folks in this thread are pretty familiar with IDEO, so I also wanted to throw out a question.

If you want to chase comp, but are still excited by the opportunity, could you stick around for a bit and jump ship somewhere else with good comp? If so, what would those exit opps look like?

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.
