For the younger generation of folks who wanted to jump into consulting for travel opportunities and to physically interact with clients, this job may not be as appealing to them anymore

Not that there are a lot of alternatives out there either. When the dust settles I suspect we’ll still be more socially-oriented and spend more time on the road than most.

You make fair points as well! But then I’d wonder what consulting, as an industry which lives and dies by the quality of its recruiting outcomes, would do to counter that effect? Even higher pay? Better WLB? Arguing for the value added (and defending the costs added) by in-person client-consultant relationships?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?

Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

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.

Any advice is appreciated!
