Is taking a 10-20% cut in TC to leave current mild growth tech to join MAANG S&O silly? Assume same wlb and benefits. I really want a MAANG brand on my CV but find the 10-20% cut holding me back. I don't want to second guess my capabilities and have lingering concerns on "why did I accept a cut? Do I deserve this? Couldn't I wait out a while longer to find a better offer, if I am lucky enough to secure one?"

Take RSU appreciation into consideration in addition to vesting schedule. If they vest significantly on the back end (AMZN), statistically you’re likely to not get it. Hence why it’s structured thst way. Additionally, AMZN likely will not open up new doors if you have wide scope of responsibilities in your current role.

Brand on CV can help but it’s not necessarily a golden ticket. S&O in tech is second class citizen, but can serve as a stepping stone to pivot into engineering or product (which is under significant pressure for the foreseeable future)

D1, second class to engineering and product. Look at the salary variances between those roles and S&O aligned by level

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
