FB fam, I want to go back to industry after 3 years in consulting. Which is a better choice: hands-on tech role (Software Engineer, I haven’t coded in a while) or a Program Manager role. Target FAANG!

Program Manager. What I’ve noticed about coding is that techniques keep changing and the edge/speed is gone once you’re out of your 20s, but also, you went into consulting for a reason. You never needed to leave industry if what you wanted to do is code. Program Manager is a mix of your coding background and your business facing background.

I’m currently in PA working in tax compliance (PE/Hedge) and considering my options. When I spoke with a recruiter seems like there is not a lot of “interesting” tax opportunities in industry that really stuck out to me. They mentioned potential opportunities for a PE controller role. Has anyone ever tried this? It would be a smaller shop so imagine I’d be doing everything if I was considered. Would I be setting myself up for failure?

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
