God yes. Why would you want to work at TikTok?

likefunny

Don’t know. Don’t care. But I also wouldn’t want to work for any FAANG. And I don’t use their services (outside google for searches). It’s also a pretty well known sweat shop and you’re working for a Chinese governmental entity which I just find creepy.

Please don't waste your talent at TikTok

likefunnysmart

Depends on whether you want to be a PM or a consultant. I hear horror stories from people working at Tiktok, but MBB also has its fair share of work and sacrifices. But at the end of the day, look at what you’d like to do and what makes you happy and base your decision off of that. Another offer never hurts when it comes time to negotiate offers and bonuses.

PM at TikTok isn’t what you think it is fyi - it’s more of a PO/execution focused role as most product strategy will come from abroad.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
