Thank you M2

Out of curiosity what's your background and yoe. This is a kind of role of like to go for in a few years. I'm SM at big 4 in strategy consulting with 7 yoe

Also curious

I cant help you with the CPG. I do work in a strategy role at MSFT- happy to chat

Comp? Team? Which one is growing faster and which one do you want to do more?

funny

Pay is comparable. $250-$300 TC. Both are relatively new strategy teams. However, MSFT role is an individual contributor position, while I would have a small team in other role. In the Director role, I would be reporting to an Executive.

What's the pay at each?

funny

CPG

How many years of experience do you have pre and post MBA? The Director role is definitely attractive from optics perspective but I suspect you’ll have better opportunities in tech long term. You can wait to have direct reports if you are not too far along in your career.

Also, are the roles in same city?

I think this depends on where you want your career to go in the future as well as where you want to live.

Tech is obviously a growing space, and mostly west coast based.

CPG is obviously less technical but also not as buzzy, and mostly in the Midwest.
