Been at Facebook for a month in a BizOps role. However, I just got a (very delayed) offer to be a Marvel product manager at Disney Streaming. Love facebook but my end goal is product management and it looks near impossible to switch internally since I’m in one of their HQ offices and most of the roles are sales. Should I switch? Comp is 30k less at DSS and not as good benefits, I’d burn a bridge, and I’m happy at FB but scared of losing a good opp

Marvel. Product. Manager. There’s a dream job I didn’t know I wanted until now.

Yes! You never know when the next opp will come around

Do you work at DSS?

That sounds like an incredible opportunity. I’d product is your goal, don’t think twice - make the move

Do it

That sounds awesome - leave FB and don't look back!

Can also say that the hardest part about product is breaking in. You have no idea if you'll get another shot at PM.

Since your goal is to be a PM , DSS is a enticing but you’d likely burn some FAANG bridges.

I’m in NYC so it’s a sales hub :/ but I was thinking of trying to go for product at another company in the city after a year at FB just because I’m scared of getting blacklisted. But at the same time I also don’t know if this could be a once in a lifetime opp that really drives my career

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
