Google 🐠 - can someone help me understand roles and structure? I'd like to apply for positions post-MBA (target school), 4yoe as a BA/Product Owner. What level/positions should I look for that would offer post-MBA market comp with similar job functions? Thanks!!

If you’re an MBA and don’t have an engineering background then the Product Manager pathway might not be the best for you at Google. Typically they want candidates with engineering backgrounds. They’d prefer to hire Computer Science Grads over MBAs for these roles. Although Amazon does the opposite, they like to hire MBAs.

It’s changing at Google for more diverse academic backgrounds, but still biased to comp sci.

Also, we don’t have BAs or POs here. Nearest thing is a Product Manager, but it’s different. Make sure to do the research and reference above.

Yeah, that makes sense. You’d fit the profile then :-)

I’d say most MBA graduates land L4/L5 non-tech roles in the US. Comp was similar to consulting, until the recent MBB raises.

For Europe L4 is more common, and comp is also competitive vs. consulting. Not investment banking, however.

Usually strategy and operations roles, especially if they have a consulting background. I’ve also seen people land sales roles (very well paid), and even product marketing roles (not as well paid). There’s no specific go-to role

I’d love to know too because I have a similar background

So what do you want to do post MBA? Also I'm confused by the term "BA / product owner" as a product owner generally is an eng lead function.

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
