For data science exits does it go something like this? Any industry players I'm missing? Have been in process with all and currently in process with all but one and trying to prioritize.

VC (supporting investing with tech expertise) > hedge funds > FAANG/high growth startups >> lower tier unicorns >>> MBB

Goals are comp, impact, marketability, and employability.

Sounds about right to me, MBB practices like BCG Gamma could be great too when it comes to comp, employability and marketability!!

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!
