I love it! Less hours, more pay, more autonomy and responsibility, better brand, nicer colleagues (versus Deloitte S&O).
Looks like we let one of the interns out by accident. Sorry guys we'll keep the doors locked next time.
Started S&O, then went BizOps, now a PM. My favorite part about all these roles is that promo committees are explicitly told not to promote heroes or the ends of digestive tracts. This enforces a more humble, approachable culture that I think allows us to experiment & learn from failure.
If you need to be the core product that your business sells, S&O is not for you since software engineers get the only guaranteed seat at the table. Compared to consulting (even pure strat), it’s definitely a more enjoyable way to make $250k while providing internal mobility to do more.
Google 3: thank you for sharing! this is insightful. additionally are you able to share how you went from S&O to PM? what specific Google work threads or projects would you recommend for this transition? I’m asking since i have an S&O Lead role offer but was actually trying for PM roles, hence debating if i should take up the current offer. thanks in advance!
Let me take a wild guess. Everyone f ing loves it and it’s 10x better than their 105 a year Deloitte job
Alex?
My impression is the work is less “intellectually” challenging (esp coming from Strat or M&S) but quite interesting especially if you have a $XXM revenue target and a well-defined role (not just a go-to for a sales team). Kinda depends on what you want from work/life.
For those dedicated few that are willing to work in MTV, I'm truly jealous. I'm just an ad sales guy at a satellite office but life's chill.
If you ever want to move to MTV/SF/NYC, we used to bring satellite guys in all the time. Frontline experience is invaluable to designing good go to market.
On this topic - anyone have knowledge of Marketing S&O who is open to connect / share info? Have not heard much of them on FB but interviewing with them soon. Thank you
Another question would be at what level did you make the switch from consulting?
