Currently doing strategy at Google. I have a PM offer internally. I am worried about the impact of AI on the PM function (bloodbath of automated swes / designers / pms fighting for fewer and fewer pm spots...) Should I switch?

You think s&o is more immune to impact from AI?

I could see it because S&O sits closer with execs and if you play you cards right you can have a lot of influence and be in execs favor. But I think for Google specifically, PMs hold a lot of power (but if you would need to down level and become more junior, you become more focused on execution/taker of orders which is what AI would replace).

My advice tend to be follow the leader. If you have strong rapport with a good revenue generating leader (L9/L10+) who is doing well in G, stay put. If not, can try PM, can always pivot back. I think yes AI will inevitably lead to layoffs across all functions, and playing good politics and aligning yourself well is key to surviving these things.

How's strategy at google vs bcg? Less slide making lol? Curious to know what a typical day looks like
Thanks!!

Switch. Not because the career path is safer, but because it is fulfilling to explore interesting career paths. You can switch back to S&O later if you don't like PM, but it is hard to land a Google PM role, so it is worth trying it out. At the very least, if you try it, you will probably have fewer regrets a few years from now.

What was your application process to get a PM offer?

How do you suggest getting a role like this

Role at faang, primarily S&O

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

Update: In his IG stories, Paul states that Karine has filed a restraining order preventing him from contacting her or Pierre. On IG, he also posted what looks to be Karine’s statement to the police. The statement does have explicit descriptions of DV/SV and may be triggering, so I did not include it here but you can easily find it on his account if wanted. I hope they all get the help they need.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
