Does Google value FAANG experience over consulting? Say if a person is trying to get into Google from Apple, will it be considered easier?

Former consultant chiming in. I would say generally you’ll have an easier time coming from FAANG, but MBB consultants also have a much easier path than most others.

Well it depends. Like it’s it’s S&o ad sales of course they prefer consulting.

But if it’s Corp fin App Store and you did it Apple and want to do it at google, def prefers over consulting’s

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
