Been in consulting for a year now as an Associate with 1.5 years prior experience. Possibly could be promoted at my firm this year.
Have an opportunity to work at getting a job with a FAANG. The job would pay 30k more base + whatever the comp comparison is. I am wondering what is a better career opportunity/what will pay more in the short term. And what are generally FAANG signing bonuses for non-engineering roles in engineering.

Do you want to be in tech or consulting?

People pretend like 30k salary differences matter. It doesn’t.

M1 okay that makes a lot of sense. And I think any good career advice I have been given is the same. Think it just gets easy once you get 2+ years of experience to start only thinking about $. But yeah I know for sure my passion is not consulting. And I am more passionate about tech, but really the stuff I am passionate about is outside of work.

Interesting perspective about ppl being behind in tech after doing consulting for awhile. I do appreciate the help as that helped check myself for asking the wrong questions. Appreciate it!

Your dms are not available, plz shoot me a message I’m intrigued ab joining big tech as well
