Have 2 options I’m evaluating. Heart is set on going into tech, but also worried about career progression and $.
A) jr partner at boutique firm = TC 400k (cash)
B) FAANG strategy = TC 250-300k (cash + equity)

Non-$ Pros for FAANG: WLB likely better, can always come back to consulting, break into tech / open up new exit opps

If $ was the same I’d choose FAANG

Go Jr. Partner then you can shoot for exec roles.

Agree with above if experiences are anchored on strategy and ops. If analytics or hard skills (DS/AI) have seen folks leap frog in few cases n others pegged lower a mixed bag really. Folks that I saw transition to big tech were working with that firm or had specific product/program launch experience

What is your role now that you can come in as a junior partner

How much is the difference in wlb? I just received an offer from tech myself and won't be looking back to consulting. Then again I don't have a Jr partner consulting offer in hand, but sounds like long hours and stress.

I d likely choose junior partner then move out

Do you mind sharing boutique name and/or comp breakdown? Evaluating and exploring options and would certainly benefit from your experience!

OP tbh I think which FAANG firm may also factor into your decision.
