Anyone know what are considered the better/more prestigious jobs to recruit for at an M7 MBA? Obviously MBB is popular but where do the top quartile want to go?

Tech, MBB, BB IB (although I’ve noticed this is getting less popular)

So what would you say encompasses tech in this group?

PgM?
Product management?
Strategy?

I have noticed the trend too but wondering where specifically people are finding more value.

MBB, PE, Tech, Start Ups (in a CXO or founder role). IB was really rare at mine (self selection).

For those saying Tech, what firm or function? E.g. is Amazon PM actually considered prestigious?

I wouldn’t say it’s “prestigious” but at M7 schools it’s largely self selection where people go. The person who went to MBB could’ve probably gone to Google who probably could’ve gone to IB. In fact, there was no “top quartile” at my school. No employer has ever looked at my grades from business school.

Edit: the exception to that is probably the hedge funds and mega PE funds.

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!
