Hi there, I'm an engineer (ME+EE) with a BS/MS with experience in engineering, Program management and tech sales. I've been applying to Google and a few other FAANG companies for PM roles but without any luck so far. I'm prepared to got to BSchool (already have my GMAT done) to make it happen but want to know if there may be a more expedient way.
Any advice?

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.
