Absolutely.

Google is constantly expanding each year and any team worth joining is granted additional headcount.

Use this time to learn what it means to work at Google and navigate it's environment.

I, along with my folks I knew, made the jump from consulting for Google to full time at Google.

Most likely it will be remote with limited travel, no free lunches or snacks.

Just so you know program and product management is really distinct roles at google. But to answer your q, it does help.

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position.

I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
