Controversial question - what are some roles/functions to avoid at Google for ex-management consultants, in terms of potential under-utilization of skills and limited career progression? Common exit opps tend to be in StratOps, PMM, PgM/Solutions Consultant, roles in Sales; would anyone not recommend any of these roles?

Depends what you want to do. Some roles in cloud are not the same as core despite the same title as an example.

S&O is often disappointing if you were going in to it expecting to be a mission critical high impact role; but if you’re going there for a good salary, great WLB and to otherwise hit cruise control then you’re good.

Avoid engagement manager - you just write statements of work… and that’s it.

PgM is flooded to the brim, but in all honesty it’s not a bad role. Seems to be what most people are on as. If possible try to go to Technical Program management, higher comp ladder and slightly more interesting work (imo). Also, cloud PgM is very different than core (ads, legal, GAPP etc) core PgM is a good role.

PMM/PM is a fun role, it’s what I’d try to get to outside coming in.

TAM *can* be cool if you’re on the right account, but if you’re on the wrong one it’s a lot of in person support.

CSM is a good role if you want to do post sales business development. You’ll do growth strategy, consumption planning, relationship building etc. it’s a lead in to roles like CCE lead/Delivery Exec which parallels SM/P type responsibilities.

Honestly the only role I would avoid is EM, it’s just nebulous and the career progression isn’t super clear. But roles to avoid will be dependent on your interests too.

What are your thoughts on Partnerships: SPD and SPM?

ProdOps can be great too. Just be careful if the work is actual product strategy vs chief of staff where you primarily track OKR progress, budget, headcount, etc.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!

From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
