I’m only 1 year in post-MBA and wondering if I should stick it out at least another year at D or take an offer from Amazon to go be a Senior Product Manager (their post-mba role). Comp is about the same since no raises or big bonuses from D this year. Downside is I’d have to pay back partial signing bonus. Think I might enjoy the product role more just because I like owning things and my year at D so far has felt somewhat “fluffy” and disjointed in terms of experience. Any advice from fellow 🐠?

Guess I’m asking if I’m quitting consulting too soon and not giving myself enough time to truly understand this job and am I giving up better future exists and effectively “resetting” to 1 year ago when I graduated from MBA? Which path has better future career prospects to leadership roles in product (eg director or Vp of product)?

Go to amazon. You can always boomerang.

I would take it, negotiate a good signing stock bonus. If you don’t take it now, you likely won’t have the qualifications for a higher level role there in product management and the comp change would be even lower. Amazons a good place to learn a lot and quickly, similar to consulting

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
