Given the context of at their peaks I can’t see a world where it’s not FAANG.

Easily FAANG.

FAANG before the peak, during, and well after. TC and WLB will always be better in tech.

Yeah if you’re that high up at MBB or even some boutique firms then the TC upside is higher.

Getting to $1M annually that is absolutely true but there are a lot more people under in their 30’s in tech that had years where they were up and over $300-400k. I had a Tesla dealership attached to a building I worked in and median county home prices shot to $800k because there was so much money floating amongst so many people.

Peak is behind us so irrelevant q

I wouldn’t join FAANG at its peak coz RSU will only go downward from there

My RSU/share value at one point was 5x from when they were issued.

I sold them at close to 5x

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
