Is what you’re doing now what you got your degree in?

For me, yes.

Both my bachelors and masters are in healthcare management.

However when speaking with coworkers and friends, their degree is something completely different!

Sounds like you applied your degree to this work and have stuck with it! Way to go! I enjoy the environment too…. It’s different everyday! 😅

Kinda of. My B.S. is Psychology. I am in graduate school for a M.S. In Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I work at a Psychiatric/Behavioral Health Facility. So the field/company is related to my degree but my position isn’t

Interesting!! I never thought of a psychology degree. Do you get to use any aspect of your knowledge in your current role at all?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
