I’ve heard tech (Amazon, google, FB) is way better than consulting. Torn on what I should do in the future. I was an RN for 4 years and currently do IT health software implementation at Oracle. Only 28 so working towards a VP role at a biotech company sounds pretty sweet but now I’m not so sure.

I mean you know you’ve got a kush gig if you’ve go5 one. High TC, good wlb. Don’t know if there’s even a role for someone with my background at these types of companies

What does “way better” even mean

I really hesitate to make blanket pronouncements - individuals can value different things and teams within a company can have very different experiences.

Good WLB is IN GENERAL an easier find in tech. However things like sales, security, and implementation work TYPICALLY work longer hours than product, operations, and strategy.

Tech culture seems to be a little more communal / less hierarchical. Consulting has roles defined a bit more clearly.

Consulting pay is generally more cash oriented, with tech more RSU oriented.

Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?
