Let’s assume post MBA (not H/S) I am ruling out the following employers:

1. MBB
2. Bulge Bracket banks
3. Amazon
4. Any PE fund

What are some good employers in Tech? Any rotational leadership programs you would recommend? I am thinking whether it still makes senso to go if I know I don’t want to work for the companies that hire 80% of the people

1) Big tech - FAANG, Salesforce, Adobe, Intuit
2) Unicorns/recently IPO’d unicorns - Airbnb,
3) Snowflake, Spotify, Instacart
4) Growth stage startups
5) early stage/seed startups

You should first ask yourself if you’re more interested in working at a company with an enterprise facing product or consumer facing product. Different business models and future opportunities

My list of tech firms where MBAs seem happy/well paid...Google, Facebook, Adobe, Salesforce, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Stripe, Workday

Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft. Granted, the majority of roles available to mbas and ex-consultants are not very “sexy” per say.

If you’re willing to hustle a bit more and take some risk, late stage startups early ipo companies typically have some roles too (nothing that you couldn’t get going straight from bcg though vs going to be biz school...)

You could also go for corporate strategy in older tech companies too, but probably not the most attractive option from a culture or comp perspective.

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
