Might get biased answers from this bowl but interested to read thoughts. Currently in pm/bizops intern role at Tesla with summer mbb interviews coming up, and I am unsure of which path to take coming out of undergrad.

Reasons for consulting:
- travel, lifestyle
- fast paced, constant changing of clients and projects to learn and gain responsibility quickly
- friends and network among class

Pro of staying:
- fulfilling mission
- long term want to be in sustainability
Cons:
- slower growth ops

Disagree. If you want PM, stay in tech. It is very hard to break back in even from MBB - they look to existing PM role for a qualifier.

If you are bizops or strategy (and want to do that longer term) then do MBB and pivot later. Easy to break into that from consulting

If you want PM, try to get a PM role. It is much preferred than MBB. If you are aiming for biz ops / strategy roles at tech, then MBB works as well

It can be very team dependent though - teams with much greater exposure to Elon tend to see the steepest growth trajectories. Also, if you look at the middle/upper-management, the external hires rarely seem to work out well. The “Tesla-grown” managers are much more successful at the company in general

Take whatever pays more. Your goals and intangibles can change fast especially right out of undergrad. I’ve never heard a 22/23 year old say they wanted less money.

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
