leaving MBB at 2yrs, interested in joining a big tech firm (think MSFT, Google, Canva, Atlassian)

what level would I be capable of entering into each of the above companies (e.g. senior associate in S&O? or just associate S&O)? What LX level would that be?

same for if I were to enter into product management at any of the above companies; could I only enter at the associate product manager level, could I enter at just product manager or above?

I don’t think 2 YoE would get you L4 here. That’s pretty standard L3 watch is our entry level, and if you have your sights set on PM it will really only come from a rotational program at that level.

Associate

Id go look at levels.fyi. Im MBB 2yrs and most of the PMs Ive spoken to about pivoting have suggested its gonna be quite a bit more difficult to break into big tech PM (they prioritize for technical backgrounds). PM is also a shit show right now, tons of layoffs and AI means you are going to be fighting for fewer spots and against better competition even if you go APM route. My take after researching this for a month is its a massive risk to go all in on PM recruiting rn, you might get lucky to get 1-2 interviews and it probably won't be the big tech Co you wanted. I gave up and am now trying for product ops / S&O until the market stabilizes in a few yrs

L4 for S&O, PM likely only through associate/rotational programs

If you make it to post-MBA level, you should be able to hit L4. Otherwise will be difficult to do here.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
