So many of us romanticize MBB, big tech/LinkedIn/Salesforce/TikTok, and private equity... if you had a path to all which would you choose and why?

I turned down McKinsey out of college to be a Junior Meme Analyst at Tik Tok.

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not anymore. I could actually see meme analyst being a job to analyse analytics around sharing, reach, etc.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
