Evaluating 3 options (all quite different):
A) FAANG L6 bizops: TC 330K
Pros: WLB, remote flexibility/no travel
Cons: Trajectory $450k+ is not clear/reachable within 3-4 years, mundane work / low intellectual stimulation
B) T2 PE Value Creation/ODD SM: ~TC $380k
Pros: great team, interesting work/space, growing team/investment area, remote, growth trajectory to $500+TC (aiming for P)
Cons: bad WLB (esp pre-deals)
C) MBB PL/EM: ~TC $380k
Pros: brand, growth trajectory (same as above)
Cons: wlb

Separate question, but how do people manage to get offers all around the same time so that they have time to compare them? Even applying at the same time, some are fast and some are slow. Do you say no to the fast ones and hold out/hope for the slow ones?

How long did they give you for extensions?

sounds like S& vs Bain

Depends on your family situation and how you look at a job, whether you get a lot of enjoyment from working or if it’s just a means to earning income. A sounds great if you want a nice income and would enjoy having the WLB not minding the mundane work. To someone who enjoys a challenge from a career, either B or C sounds better to me, especially with the known career growth which it seems like you could take back to FAANG afterwards if you want that WLB in a few years

C, then B, then A

C seems slightly better than B.

C vs. A really depends on what you value in terms of WLB (A), nature of work (Depends), and comp (C)

A if it’s Apple or Google

Otherwise C

Couple follow ups:
A) is meta (not google or apple)
B) are exits to PE ops feasible at this seniority
C) also leaning into this the most

Meta is a sinking ship unless you are aligned to Instagram or WhatsApp.

PL/EM make that much? 😳

I think C makes the most sense as well

SC2 that would be PL2? Also you’re interviewing for that as sc lateral? I’m no longer there but that’s pretty wild

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
