Not hating, some people know what they bring to the table. Like technical ppl hate consulting since they can use their skills properly, similarly non hard core programming people would like the pay bands from FAANG but know they can’t compete or have the same levels of technical expertise as their colleagues. Hence, can’t get a job there has different meaning for different people.
-> I suck and failed my interview so I’m salty
-> I know I will never pass their tech rounds and I’m upset but life goes on.
Oh and who wants to live in San Francisco?
Passed my interviews at AWS, would rather go in at a L5 maybe 6 after 5 years in consulting than out of undergrad at an L3 and take 8-10 years to make L5
Rejected 3 offers from Amazon and one from Apple to choose BCG. Have been financially more successful with equivalent hours (50ish week) and done much broader set of work here.
I get interview invites from different FAANGs each year. So no, I am with consulting because I like it more. If I have to go to FAANG I can go anytime.
McK2: I don’t think you should compare total comp post b-school; because the stocks don’t vest until end of 4 years. Compare the comp over multiple years.
Salesforce1: 10 years is a lot of experience. Assuming you have similar profile at BCG ; say 4 years pre MBA and 6 years post ; you would be looking around $450k
I like San Francisco. Contemplating a move to faang as we speak, but neither is for everyone!
That’s not true. I spend a lot of time out there and the place blows. I work for a big tech company as well.
You couldn’t pay me enough to live that lifestyle. My version of hell.
Probably but never tried applying
For everyone saying hell no to FAANG (I too agree) ...where else would you rather work if not your current job?
For wlb defense contractors. Good pay excellent wlb if you don’t mind working for the American war machine
Wouldn’t mind FAANG. But don’t really care about SF.
True.
SF is cool to visit once in a while, but I wouldn’t move there/Sillicon Valley for any jobs
True. :)
OP is clearly someone that doesn’t need to think about the needs/desires of anyone else but him/herself.
Some of us are past the stage where we make unilateral decisions. And thank goodness.
I work in San Fran and live in Ohio. I'd rather live here than there... quality of living vs. cost is much better pretty much everywhere else.
No..
