Currently at a top MBA program and was planning to only recruit for tech PM positions. Given how the tech market is doing, wanted to cast a wider net - should I be looking at places like BCG / Bain? They’ve also increased base salary to 190K, which goes far in a LCOL city.

Is that guy in space?

What are your goals? Bit shortsighted if you want tech PM to do consulting for short term money. Not an easy or guaranteed move from consulting to tech PM, even if coming from MBB. Strongly recommend landing in field you want to be in post mba, even if pay is a little below other options in short term. Do what you actually want to do, $$ will follow

Great advice, thanks. I do want to be in a product related role

Maybe do product marketing instead. More recruting overlap with product managment roles, and easier to transition to product managment later if needed.
