AWS peers: how does the work, compensation, and exit opps compare between AWS TAM, PM, and BD roles?

I have an MBA with 0 technical experience but self studied to earn the AWS SA and Developer certs.

I've seen people with MBAs typically get hired into PM (Program Manager) roles and seen a few really excel as BDMs

Thank you. While I realize that these roles are fairly new, do you know what the exit opps are for these roles?

No idea, I've been out for more than a year and things have definitely changed since I was on the inside

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
