8. Cell phone sales "consultant"
9. Federal

would you rank finance transformation ahead of PMO/m&a consulting

Human Capital consulting is legit - requires quite a bit of thought. I’d probably put that number 2 or 3.

Bottom line is that you should do the ones you’ll be good at.

Prestige is a funny criteria. I think it's honestly changing all the time, but prestige also doesn't matter so much if you don't enjoy the work?

This is also highly dependent on where you want to exit to? PE/VC? Probably that list ^ is accurate. FAANG tech product management/project management? It’s not even close, they’ll take someone from tech/analytics/hard skill areas any day of the week over strat/mc.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
