Currently a PM at a large tech company (close FANGMULA). Used to work in markets and while there are lots of benefits to this role, one of the biggest cons is the lack of bonding with coworkers. ie happy hours, dinners, parties etc. This role feels pretty isolating as the engineering teams are not too social.

Thinking of making a move to MBB, and have an offer at the moment. It's for a client facing product role.

Thoughts?

Please don’t use that acronym again 😅

If you really want to use that acronym is it not FAANGMULA 🫢?

By that logic, Microsoft shouldn't be here

What's the pay like? If MBB is offering you more money than tier 2 tech, take it. If it isn't paying more, don't take it. If you just miss happy hours, it may very well be cheaper for you to buy drinks for everyone out of pocket once a month than accept a lower salary.

What’s the TC? I left BCG Gamma for tech and feel similarly (almost no meetings no emails I just code all day). But TC difference is just too large to justify going back.

Indeed tough to match that. I’m a DS, not planning to leave in the near future but have seen quite a few exit to DS and MLE type roles already

Fangmula is so cringe yet kinda catchy. I’m gonna start throwing it around casually 😂
