I work with a great TPM and his job is pretty interesting from what I see. Definitely a broader scope that a project manager and more interesting work/stakeholders than a typical PgM role. I'd rather work under the engineering org than others any day.

Are you saying that Tech PgM’s are in the engine org?

I think it’s pretty good. You drive new initiatives/programs at these tech companies but you aren’t just a project manager, you have a technical inclination and you participate in those technical discussions and also contribute in some ways. That’s something I want to get into down the line. I am currently joining D as an SC but hope to boomerang back to Tech as a TPM.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
