How much do tech companies value experience in tech vs consulting/MBA hires? Currently a product analyst at a tech unicorn but was a consultant in my last role. The move from consulting to tech was extremely difficult and so I’m basically just wondering if it gets a little easier to move around now that I have a reputable company on my resume :)

Were you a consultant mba switching to a product manager in tech?

like

Nope, no MBA

Why would you say it was difficult? Was it the nature of the work, or was it the culture shift?

like

I pivoted from data security and had less than 2 years of work experience. Also when I say difficult I meant actually getting the new job with the career pivot to product was difficult - not the actual job itself :)

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
