Hi 🐠. Need your advice. I am Pre-MBA with 2 years of experiences. About to get a Product Manager role at a 30 people startup and wondering to take the offer or not.

Side note, why does MBB even bother with having recruiters reach out for junior staff? I imagine they have people constantly banging down their doors.

I am interested in VC opportunities, and hesitant to take the offer because I am also in talks with MBB recruiters. I wonder if I could get an MBB offer I might get better opportunities for VC. Any thoughts on whether I should take the Product Manager role now or try to transition into MBB for better exit opportunities?

C1, usually because you're in tech and they want you for a specific tech expert track, or because they have trouble filling the office due to some specific local reason (international office with language requirement for example).

I am actually talking with MBB on generalist role. I have been networking for the past couple months and have connections there. Hope this provides context.

In that case... I think MBB->VC is easier than PM->VC, unless the startup is a success. However being in talks with recruiters means nothing, so you're letting go a real opportunity for a chance at something... just factor that in.

What makes you think you’ll get into MBB?

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?
