Post-MBA hidden tech gems? What are so good tech post MBA opportunities outside of FAANG, especially in Europe. Also, what type of roles? I understand Product Management, but what about things like Product Marketing, finance leadership, etc.

For Example -
NVIDIA Product Marketing Program
Tesla Energy Trading Program
Adobe Strategic Partnerships

Thank you!

I don’t quite understand questions like these. A career in finance is widely different from say product marketing. I would first start by figuring out what type of work excites you and try to land a job in that field. Once you’re in with a company you can network with other groups and see if your skills/interests align better with those teams. For example, in my PMM role I’ve been networking with the business development teams because my interests are gravitating towards that line of work.
