I think Bain leads to better senior leadership roles in the TikTok’s of the world. Tbh besides the racism in this thread tiktok is known to be toxic AF. From my understanding in San Fran is that it runs as a Chinese company with San Fran “influence” senior leadership are all in Beijing and the 9-6 schedule is the norm (9 hour days, 6 days a week); Sunday afternoon meetings are also expected because it’s their Monday morning. I am sure at Bain hours will be crazy but I think the long term rewards will be better
Yeah in the beginning I had concerns about the culture too, but I would say this is widely team dependent. The hiring team for my Pm role actually is very chill, and I asked in terms of hours, not too bad. All the stakeholders would be on the same timezone based in the west coast. In terms of reputation how would you compare Bain vs TikTok? I feel like if it was McKinsey, that might change things, but I’m looking at people who worked at Bain for the last two years and I’m not sure how exclusive those exit opportunities are in comparison to what I’ve imagined
If you want to work in tech and/or product - tiktok by far. As a person who interviews for pms at faang, we almost never interview consultants (unless they have clear engineering background) but would def give a tiktok pm a interview.
Thanks for the insight! Agree if i were to start at TT I want to leverage this to jump ship to FAANG perhaps
Go work for tiktok
Thanks for the insight!
Chief
Tik Tok is great and the mentoring you'll get from Xi Jinping is unparalleled!
Bain
Could you elaborate
Tuk tok
OP - as a PM these thorny issues brought up by others will be very interesting to work around, are core to any tech company operating globally and thus your early exposure to the nuance will support your growth in future roles where you would need to make decisions taking that nuance into account.
Both jobs have strong and established growth paths albeit in slightly different directions; they both have the $ to hire strong people you can learn from, geography wise sounds like both are interesting.
If you’re into tech/media then go for TikTok to develop deep skills at an interesting point in the industry; if still curious on other industries Bain will allow you yo explore a bit more.
Thanks for the insight! Do you think any names would have a better leverage in terms of applying for business school (the top ones)? One idea I had was that I could always re-recruit for consulting after business school but I know some of my counterparts would be then recruiting for Pe, VC hence putting me “behind the ladder
TikTok - getting in this early is like a FAANG pre IPO for obvious reasons. It’s going to be much harder to get in later on for a PM role. Can always go to back to MBB if you don’t like it
I would focus more on culture here tbh. But can I message you? I am looking at getting into Product Management!
Culture at Tiktok is widely team dependent. I really like my hiring team
I think office location or what you will be doing matters a lot in this context
Tuk Tok Is better IMHO
How many YOE of consulting have you had? Are you tired of consulting? I recommend Bain for the brand and diverse exits.
None! EY was from a past internship I did haha
