Curious to know which roles everyone is in and if you moved over from consulting. I recently left consulting for more impact, better $/WLB, but I’m not necessarily seeing it in tech. The consulting bowl hypes up FAANG so much but I’m not seeing the allure… fwiw I’m in bizops

Dude. Same here. Ex-D and in Ops too. Not sure if it’s bc of the hype but I was expecting more from the job then what I’m getting now. In terms of solely the salary, I’m getting much more at FB than at Deloitte.

Personally I'm the same. I think tech is interesting as a whole, but it takes a while to find your footing. If you don't feel the allure, something around social impact might be a better fit?

Even if FAANG doesn't end up being your cup of tea, it does open up a lot of doors for future jobs. I think that's where it has its guaranteed value. Everything else is up to chance.
