Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Great culture and WLB. Pay is not FAANG level but in line with tier 2 types like salesforce.

Also employee focused and a stable business, no layoffs during downturns like now

OP, what kind of marketing are you in?

I’ve launched a few products during my time, PMMs have said my resume reads very strongly like a PMM, and 99% of my recruiter reach outs are for PMM roles. Theoretically brand marketing is PMM but its not limited to products so the transition isn’t too hard.
