Depends when you start - I think the highest earning ones are investment roles at the mega funds for people that started after UG

in order of comp :

1. PE investment role
3. GE/VC investment (depends on fund size)
3. PE ops
4. FAANG/Big n PM roles
5. FAANG/Big n bizops/strategy roles. Chief of staff and PMM roles could be here as well
6. Others

This is true for entry level jobs. I would imagine the access and hence potential exit options changes as you move up

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
