I was an in-house senior consultant for a big fintech company (26000+ employees), with a PhD in finance. I’ve been looking for opportunities after this consulting role. The company was a market leader in building smart banks, ATM equipments and softwares. I considered the following paths, and I’m wondering which would make more sense in this market rn:
1. Strategy roles in tech companies
2. Product manager
3. PE/VC
4. Data analytics manager (did quantitative research for over 7 years)

It depends what you enjoy the most, it sounds like you no longer enjoy consulting. Any of those fields will require developing skills/experience within those areas however. Just because you have done consulting doesn't give you an automatic position in Strategy for example; and qual research doesn't necessary give you the stakholder management skills for a data analystics management of a team - there are some very specific topical and timely things you will need to know and skill sets you need to have for each of these areas.

Thanks for the feedback! I did feel I could be a fit for any of these areas but there’s still some gap. Any suggestions on developing the skills? I used to be an operational and community manager for a college sport department for 4 years. I wonder if it could be an evidence for the management skill. And also thinking about getting PMP or lean sigma six certifications

2&3 May be most AI proof

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
