Deciding between exiting to tech (FAANG & Unicorn company) for product role (not pm) or MM IB.

Any insights from people who have done something similar in the past?

Those are very different roles, so I guess my question is what you’re maximizing for.

Wlb? Tech

Money? MM IB (accounting for likelihood of failure in unicorn)

Interesting work? Depends on what you find interesting, but likely tech

I left Big4 for FAANG, I’m in PM(cybersecurity), but still can try to help with insights.
Comp is way better, WLB is way better, and I feel more challenged in a healthy way if that makes sense. At Deloitte, I never got the satisfaction of being able to really work with the SMEs because they’re all internal. I enjoy feeling like I’m constantly learning to a different degree at Apple.
Just my personal opinion, I’m sure there are others that feel differently.

Hi ,

I have 5 years of experience as a .NET Full stack developer. I am holding offer of 21 LPA and I had HR discussion with Mastercard.

HR is not ready to share the exact budget they have (weird!! because HR usually give the idea of how much they can offer )

HR is asking me to expect something on top of the current offer I am holding.

The opening is for L8. How much offer I should expect from mastercard??
