If there is a PM role at FAANG vs a consulting role at MBB for ppl out of undergrad, which one would you take and why? Not that I have such privilege now but just curious

I’d personally chose MBB as well since it gives you options to exit into virtually any industry or function for the most part

PM all the way

Why

If your end goal is to be in tech, PM.

If undecided, MBB.

This is correct. It is so much easier to pivot to what you want after consulting than industry experience, but tech PM starting will come out ahead of MBB if MBB person moves to tech later.

None, become a software engineer at FAANG.

Pichai had a history as an engineer before being a PM. Most people in tech would agree the best PMs usually have a strong technical background - which is why a lot of SWEs turn to product management as a second career after a few YOE if they’re not interested in pursuing IC or engineering management routes. Issue is PM is now getting over saturated/becoming the new data scientist as popularity for the role has absolutely exploded the last 4 years.

Most people that I know that had this choice chose MBB (have many SWE friends)

MBB.

I had maybe 3-4 classmates who had cross offers to both APM/RPM and MBB. Only 1 went with MBB. I'm pretty sure I would've gone with APM/RPM had I gotten it. The 40% pay cut for non-tech optionality isn't really that compelling.

Why do you think that having two good job offers is “privilege”?

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
