I felt like I am just extremely lucky, but still want to share my experience to exit from consulting to FAANG in just little over 1 year.
2020 June: M7 MBA, 6YOE
2020 Sept: Started at S& as senior associate, TC ~$220k
2021 Feb: FAANG recruiter reached out on LinkedIn, replied nicely indicating not interested but would love to keep in touch in the future.
2021 Oct: got nice S& bonus, reached out to FAANG recruiter causally. After 4 weeks of interviews, received offer today with TC ~$330k.

I think the key message here is - always be nice and reply to recruiters on LinkedIn. You never know when you will need their help. :)

@OP do you think S& brand helped you or did recruiters mainly see PwC? Just curious

It absolutely did help my profile get noticed by recruiters.

Would you mind sharing your level of SQL knowledge? And is that the only analytical tool you learned (not Python or R?). I’m also self taught and consider myself pretty decent, but wouldn’t have ever thought I could get an analytics specific role. Would love to DM you.

Feel free to DM me. I used some R in school but never in workplace and know nothing about Python. I’m advance in SQL (learned all from YouTube and have been using at work for a few years before S&)

How soon is too soon to switch jobs? I went in-house a year ago, after five years as a MidLaw litigator. I always aim to stay at a job for at least two years, and not to move until it’s necessary; I also wanted to stay in this job for awhile as I’m still learning how to be in-house and have lots to grow. But the culture is poor and pay is average. Does it look bad to leave after 1/1.5 years? Is the stink of such a departure significantly lessened at the two year mark? Thanks in advance!
