Help please!!!

Strategy & Ops at large tech company (non-FAANG) - 120K TC (San Francisco)

Rotational Program at Industrial Firm - 170K TC (Chicago)

Industrial Company:
- Would pay for grad school
- Comp is insane
- Work is more niche
- Company culture is rough
- MBB / tech exit
- smaller less known company

Tech Company:
- Cool company
- well known
- Enter tech early on
- Salary lower than other by a lot
- PM / Biz Ops exits

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?

YOE?

2 year rotational program across strategy/ops, finance, marketing, etc. company sells industrial products. I’d be a generalist and learn operations/management skills.

Give us a little background. Do you currently have a bachelors or graduating soon? How many years of experience do you have? What are you seeking more: passion or money?

I’d go with the industrial one to get your mba and more money. Double check on any clawback due to you leaving once you get an mba/ finish the rotation. Then you can go anywhere from there.

And any other tips on breaking into full time editorial.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?
