Has anyone ever exited to FAANG/Big Tech after just a couple years of experience? Just curious if it's possible to do so or if that's why everyone tried for an MBA or MBB first because they don't accept anyone without that caliber of experience.

You actually are more likely to be hired via big 4/acn for the tech related product roles at FAANG. That’s the main feeder, they love big 4 implementers. They want well rounded technical people with PM skills. Due to the demand for those types of data, application, tech roles, you’re actually better positioned to get into FAANG from big 4 than at MBB going for fewer strategy roles with fiercer completion for those roles. You should also pick up sql and python.

Thanks for the advice! Been looking into maybe doing some python classes or something this year to get a basic competency so will definitely consider that more heavily if it's a good skill to have
