😂😂 Happy for you :)

I feel it sometimes. Had I stayed in tech , I would be making more than right now as a t1 mba grad. But then I consider the fact that MBA salaries cross tech salaries at the 10 yr mark and grow much more than the ceiling in tech and I feel a little better. But till itdoes , I might feel a little bad. I see coders with 3-4 yrs yoe making 40 -80 lpa . Basically 2018 grads same yr as me making more without an MBA as I do with one.

I get that, during my campus placements the students who opted for tech companies in 2016 are in a way better position.

I have frnd from mba batch who graduated in 2016 had 3 yrs exp in coding at a good company and then did mba from t1 and joined msft as a product manager and are making less than their 2018 -2019 grads who stayed in coding since graduation. They feel even worse. Sometimes I wish this tech salary bubble explodes and all these coding salaries fall back to the pre covid era times.

Lol! This tech bubble is real.. have personally worked with techies in a cross functional project. The bubble sounds even more horrifying to me...

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
