I'm an ex-MBB Associate currently working in corp strategy for F500 company (consumer). Work life balance is 40 hrs/week and very sustainable. I recently got an offer for biz ops associate for FAANG. Great pay, but seems like FAANG work life balance is not good. Is it worth to pivot to FAANG for long term career opportunities/comp trajectory?

Yes. FAANG might be the same WLB or a bit more, but nothing past 60. Well worth the name and money.

What are your career goals? And how much money is on the line? In theory, if you were willing to suffer poor wlb in exchange for better career prospects later, you presumably wouldn't have left MBB so early, right? Of course, faang style 50-60 hours a week is better than McKinsey style 70 hours per week, and faang is known for good pay, so maybe the extra work is worth it both now and in the future.

and agree 50-60 hours at FAANG is better! MBB was closer to around 80 hrs for me as an BA

Curious what’s the TC for the offer? I’m speaking with a Non-MAANG decacorn (series E) and the verbal comp was 175-195k base, 40k sign on, up to 100% bonus for manager level.

Aka tech company

Just moved to shopify from MBB and can say that wlb is better but still in the 50-60 range

Hi folks,

I have 9 years of experience as a QA out of which last 2-3 is an individual contributor (sole qa owner) plus team lead of a qa team.. I want to pursue masters in the UK so I can have a role like Project Manager/Test Manager/Scrum Master in the future.. what course should I go for:
1. MSc Management
2. Business Analysis and Consulting
3. MBA (not so easy as I don't want to give GMAT, will select certain colleges that do not need GMAT score)

Which MBA programs does Deloitte consider for mba vs non mba salary? (Not all mbas are created equal)

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
