Also, does having google on resume for 6 months help during bschool recruitment? does google allow switching to PM internally? And, does google sponsor bschool / higher education?

If you come in with a 2.5-3 year horizon you can switch to PM.

If it’s M7/Ivy, go to b-school

How come google 2?

Go to Google, defer b-school for a year. You might not even like Google. But go to b-school if you can afford it. It’ll be the most amazing time of your life.

Go to google
Defer if you can; reapply if you can’t

Do a year here and see how it goes. Re-apply next year to M7/Ivy. You may get in. If your goal is product management you can transfer into an APM in a year (assuming you have or develop the relevant skills)

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

I have 2 offers to consider. What makes more sense?
Full time role with 3 weeks vacation and benefits or contract opportunity with 20k more in potential salary.

Little background, I have been a loyal employee and have only worked at 1 firm for about 6 years now. Looking for more growth and obviously money.

Need some suggestions on what to consider and any pitfalls that I should be aware of.

Thanks
