Hello everyone I’m a college student currently majoring in computer science but I want to be a project/product manager at a tech company and wanted to which major aligns with it the most. I’ve been looking into information system and technology management and they seem like the closest. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think you should stick with comp sci. Tech companies pay more for and have more roles for Technical PM’s. They need people who understand computer science for this role. Changing your major to something other than comp sci would make it way more difficult to get these roles.

If possible, maybe stick with CS as a major but have a concentration or a minor in project management? Or even take classes related to that as electives?

My friend has following offers from three companies after MBA (two offcampus and one from campus)

1. Finance Effectiveness/ EPM role at one of the Big 4
2. Deal Advisory role at one of the Big 4
3. Organization strategy role from one of the top consulting companies (not Big 4)

Which role offers the best exit options? All the offers from US support teams of the companies.
OS role offers better than the other two (only slightly), but I am interested in a good profile

I always wanted to work abroad and I got a offer now for a secondment in Australia with same title (SC) and 30% lower salary (local market standard). At the same time I also got a offer from a boutique in the US with a 15% pay increase and better title compared to what I have now. Feels a bit like a money/career vs. life experience decision. Would you forfeit the better pay/title in the US for the secondment experience in Australia?
