Hi all,

For a product (and / or) project management role, predominantly technical, what type of company will be more suitable, from a learning and growth perspective ?

1. Investment banks (JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs)
2. Big 4 (Deloitte, EY)

Thanks for your answer!
Can you please elaborate more ? I've heard conflicting views for both the options.

For investment banks :-
1. Great W.L.B.
2. Projects lack variety since restricted to internal teams

For big 4
1. Working with various clients so good experience
2. No W.L.B.
3. A lot also depends on the partner and hierarchy you're in.


I'm really confused

If you want to make career in finance field then investment banks are good…. I would personally suggest to stay away from Big4 unless you don’t have any other options.. working 14 hours a day and 7 days a week is not a easy thing to do
