I graduated last May, and I’ve been at Amazon since then on an Analyst team. I’ll be going back to school in the fall and hope to try again to get into Consulting. I got admission offers from Notre Dame, Dartmouth Tuck Business School and Vanderbilt.

Which one do you think would be best to go with? Does a top business school will actually make the process easier?

FYI I’m already qualify on my resume. So no need to worry about my experiences.

But I’ve never interned in the Consulting industry.

TUCK!!!

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?
