How much is position scrutinized when you have a brand name on your resume?

Really would like to leave for a boutique for the WLB and a pay bump, but am worried that since I am not part of Deloitte Consulting (currently in advisory) that having Deloitte on my resume won’t mean much when eventually looking for exit opps

Depends on your aspirations. Sure, moving to MBB/T2 would be challenging but anything else should be doable including FAANG.

To answer directly, brand name matters a lot. MBBs/ T2 firms care a lot. I have personally experienced a lot of bias in the interview process if you're coming from another firm, many shortcomings are overlooked.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
