I love solving problems and figuring out a plan for fixing things but I hate actually doing the implementation of fixing them. Am I tailor-made for consulting or is there another field/role I would be a good fit for?

corporate strategy?

also, business school professor?

Never thought about the professor route seriously though my friends do say I could be a professor someday just based on my personality/work style. I don’t think it’s for me though. I’m currently in strategy work.

There’s too many people who can do the latter and not the former. Consulting ideally would be a good fit but there’s a lot of bureaucracy in those spaces that might prevent you from doing the work you truly want to do.

Do you have any experience in implementation? Otherwise your solutions may genuinely lack credibility. You could get to managing but not without some experience of doing the work, if that's the team you want to.manage.

Maybe strategy?

OP I mean I guess it depends on the problem at hand and the “topic”. The point is whether it is software, financial, or business related, someone who has gotten their hands dirty in the field will naturally be able to provide meaningful insight on it. How to get there without having already dived deep into the implementation parts is a good question. I wish I could give you more advice heh.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school?

They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

Non FAANG tech (think salesforce, PayPal, Sqaure, etc.) proposed compensation for 2nd yr MBB EM - ~200 base, 40 bonus, 100k stock vesting over 4 years, sign on bonus 25. How would you rate this? Worth consideration?

In TC calculations, would you count 100K stocks or only 25 that vest in y1?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
