Have a sales strategy offer from a reputable software company. It pays 15k more than what I make now and remote with monthly travel. Been at Microsoft in client success for less than a year with the chance to transfer to BizOps (70% likely) in the next 6 months or PM (50%, already talked to the manager, and I have a tech background) but no guarantee. I want to do strategy/product and don’t like my current role. Should I stay or go? Current TC is 150k, 2.5 YOE

You're already at the promised land, my friend. That's not nearly enough money to leave after only 6 months.

Over $15k? That doesn’t change anything.

You’re probably better off at MS if the other company plays in the same space. Plus, 5 years down the line, it would look like you couldn’t hack it at MS or were forced out if you were to leave within a year.

If you want strategy or PM don’t do sales strategy you’re just adding an extra step + 15k is a trivial bump if you’re at Microsoft already

Plus if you do Business Ops/Strategy/PM at a FAANG+M you’ll have your pick of exit opps. Even if the software company is Adobe or Salesforce caliber the FAANG tier seems to be a notch above

Unrelated to question but is it the sense that PM > Business Ops > Client Success is the hierarchy from best to worst roles to do for business roles in tech? Seems to be implied.

Yeah, about right. But it does depend on what you like and your skill set.

Those 3 vary quite a bit in core skills used/needed
