Looking for career advice. I’d like to eventually become a manager in IT or product manager, maybe get a part time MBA to check a box. Currently a tech lead at B4 making like 110 base in low COL city, 4 YOE.

Got an offer for 155 base remote at boutique tech consulting firm. I feel I can probably get an offer from an Amazon or Accenture at a similar comp. Any thoughts on how this would lead towards long term goals?

If your end goal is Amazon, Amazon career day is coming up 9/15. You can register for it and sign up to talk one of their recruiters. Not sure how helpful that will be but talking to an Amazon recruiter might have some value

Yeah not sure if end goal is Amazon but that’s a great lead thanks

Turning down this remote offer would be dumb

If you like Amazon or Accenture, apply there and wait. Remote work does not help much if you want to become a manager. As a manager, you need to build lot of relationship which is difficult with 100% remote work.

Both are two different career paths. Choose one and apply accordingly
