Are there actually different “prestige” levels in business/ non-engineering roles between companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft, etc? Does working for one give better exit opportunities vs. others? TIA

Honestly no idea just made this up

Corp strategy I can’t say with certainty. They have a direct line to every P&L owner while engineering/ds is routed through 5 leads before they get to the VP of their BU (speaking primarily for FAANG). For any primarily consumer tech company (think Apple), marketing is a profit center and the heart of their growth strategy. If it’s a B2B SaaS then sure the Account Execs might have more “prestige” than marcom.

We have a lot of exits to and from FAANG along with other solid tech companies.

It's like being a pro athlete - once you get to the league you've cleared the bar. Some teams win more or pay more but overall you can generally move around if you have the need/desire to make a change.

There’s always prestige. The people who say there isn’t are the ones who have made it to the top or the ones who have lost and want to make themselves feel better about themselves.

Agreed. It’s a rule of thumb but not a law of physics so to speak.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
