I’m starting an MBA program this week and can’t find a job in my field because I’m pivoting away from a musical arts career. Ideas?

Better for long term career goal and happiness: Large CPG analytics, or post-MBA consultant at boutique? I am extremely torn. I value work-life balance very much, is all consulting horrible for it? If I want to work in product development/marketing long term (I love idea of food/bev but not married to it), does it make more sense to just get right into the CPG world with great WLB? Or is it potentially better to take a role in a brand/marketing boutique then exit later when burnt out?

I'm not necessarily unhappy with the firm I'm at, but have started looking into in house opportunities, as I've seen some interesting openings. I understand this will likely come with a pay cut (perhaps in exchange for a better work/life balance....tbd), but does anyone have any thoughts on other considerations/questions I should be thinking about/asking? Thank you in advance!

Do I accept a job position in an area that I’m unsure if I like because I haven’t really practiced in it as much but the pay is really good? Or do I stay in a job position that allows me to work in the area that I think I’m interested in staying in long term but the pay is much lower? For reference I am a third year.

Hello — Looking to crowdsource some pros & cons from this knowledgeable group. I have two opportunities. 1: FAANG in Product and 2: Big Pharma.

What should I be thinking about (long-term trajectory, WLB, future exit opportunities, other)? Appreciate the input in advance.

How do you know if this profession is for you? I gave up some hobbies I enjoy during busy season, but have more time for summer hobbies. I don’t want to be like many senior managers in my firm where you stick it out for 10-15 years, then look back with regrets. Feel like I’m at the point (5 yes in) where I dig in and accept this life or get out.
