I am a senior graduating soon with a technical masters (accelerated program) from an Ivy League. I have an offer for Facebook TPM and McKinsey & Company BA. McK first year TC is 75k less. Will McK increase the offer? If so, how much?

Any thoughts on FB vs McK for PM opportunities later on?

First off, congrats - not many people get the sort of opportunities you have been given.

You decision will depend on your long term goals. If what you want to do is make things, FB is what you need. The only issue is whether you want to be at a company that is as vilified.

If you want to get the business stuff first, McKinsey is one of the best places you could go. However, it's consulting and you'll be on the low end so you are more likely to be sent to a project in Poughkeepsie than Manhattan. as for money, you should squeeze McKinsey in a competitive situation - tell them you have an offer from fb.

So both have ups and downs.

When having career discussions (with a HM or your current boss), how has everyone handled job-titles that weren't "Product Manager" but you were performing the functions/role? I had a role in my past where our formal job title was "Senior Consultant" but we internally referred to ourselves as "Product Leads". I don't want to mislead others.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
