Idk why people say consulting detour makes sense when the end goal is tech. Going to tech directly is better in every sense - pay, wlb, hard skills.

What do you at Facebook other than optimize micro-targeted ads, game attention algorithms that suck up your free time, and help facilitate the downfall of democracy? Please someone tell me what is so glamorous about these FAANG jobs...

That’s a very narrow view of what FB does. There’s a whole world of work going on in Facebook Reality Labs, as an example, which is making significant investments in novels devices and computing paradigms (eg. Oculus)

I went MBB to FAANG Strategy. Without knowing anything else of your goals, I’d take FAANG strategy before MBB

I’m in interviews with a few companies. It was initially to see what was out there to negotiate my pay. Now, I’m seriously considering leaving my current company because of what one of the prospect companies represent: everything I want in a company/role.

What should I do? Guidance please!!!

Hello,
I have applied for the position of a consultant at Accenture and am currently ongoing the interview process.
I have successfully cleared the Skill 1 and Skill 2 interview rounds and was now expecting that the next would be the HR round.
I have been mailed that there is there is a third round before the HR round that is going to conducted the next week.
Skill 1: Pure Technical
Skill 2: Semi Technical + Managerial

What you I be expecting in this third round?

I need advice.
I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
