Same boat as u have been applying around to get back into coding because I don’t like excel and outlook as much. Most people look at it as nice to have when looking towards promoting you to managerial positions down the line but the main emphasis is still your technical background and how well you perform in the technical assessment

OP - it’s big 4 (not top 4) bud

Vault bases their standings on surveys sent to consulting employees - the results are better viewed as a proxy for how large and well-known a brand is rather than how "good" or prestigious a firm is. They also heavily overindex their surveys on fresh grads (since that is who actually fills out those type of surveys) - those who know the least about the consulting industry are the same people whose opinions are primarily reflected in the results.
A perfect example of how a few expert opinions can be significantly more accurate than mass surveys targeted at the general population.

Do you have software dev experience or a technical degree?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
