Hi all! Anyone who appeared for an interview for the AI/ML Solutions Architect role with AWS - I’d love to pick your brain on what’s the interview like for the position along with what TC can I expect for the L5 level role? I will have phone interview soon, would love to know how to prep for it. Thanks 🙏🏻 Amazon AWS

With McKinsey already on your profile, it is just a matter of where your story would be sharper while applying irrespective of the organization.
Though Stanford, Wharton would always prefer stories with 0 to 1 perspective i.e. early stage multiple hats role.
Your profile will be great for the M7 schools. Mck + Google is a great combo. Mck + Startup is a good combo too but it depends on the roles and responsibilities you get. If you choose the startup way, you’ll need to focus on an even more solid story. Bonus points for startup if the CEO is an alumni of your target school.
You’re trading in “interesting” story with track record of joining the most competitive firms in their respective industries, which can be translated as a high quality candidate.
I know MBB + FAANG folks who ended up in M7, it’s easily doable.

If you use the 2 yrs at Google well, you will have a better network of colleagues in 2 yrs that will then benefit you post-MBA.

Can’t speak to MBA advice, but most BAs who had similar choice that I know of (FAANG vs startups) chose startups

True, question is whether you want to devote your career to that (not learning, BS projects etc) especially when you are a 24 year old ex McK BA with plans for MBA.
Went through the BizOps process for Google and it sounds like the structure is very similar to consulting in terms of types of projects, daily check-ins, etc. Basically an internal consulting team
I think it comes down to how much you enjoyed consulting. If you have a desire to do more of an “operator” role and build something new, I would recommend start up. If you enjoyed the cadence and content of consulting, BizOps might be a good fit

I would 100% take google. Way better name than any start up can offer. You can easily get a start up job after google

OP is only there is 1-2 years before MBA.
Hi, im super interested in transitioning to tech BizOps from consulting. Care if I dm to ask you about your process and the role at Google?
BCG1- can you share some insights about your process?
Do McKinsey + Google: more prestige, and at last have some decent work life balance
Choose the start up - Google will be here if you ever want it but the start up sounds like an unique opportunity. I would say that the remote ness may give you flexibility to work where you want to, and it can be an in person coworking space too
Any tips on getting a role with Google Bizops? Sounds like exactly what I’d be interesting in exiting into
Thanks all! The startup is after Series D funding - super maturę & making a pretty strong name for itself. MBA Sponsorship is not an issue (probs will come back to McK for that).
Question is more which type of work will I like more. I am also huge on WLB but don’t want to be bored at Google / not succeed because I am not engaged.
Mentor
Under that, I would take the start up.

1) Where do you want to do your MBA?
2) What do you want to do after your MBA?
3) What is the start up and what space are they in? Funding etc?
The answer to those 3 will dictate on what you should do
Mentor
For MBB sponsorship, you can actually take a hiatus and do something else and still qualify. Just need to come back for 2 years post MBA.
The start up is a Series D, well known one. So I would take this if I was OP.

Which start up is it?

Best way to get in is to have a referral lol
Lol makes sense. What kind of experience is typical?
