McKinsey for the experience and then leave after a few years if you’re not liking it. Your skill set will grow much faster when you’re advising multiple companies vs just one

Depends on tenure. Assuming you’re a pre-MBA, I’d say FB. That specific role is something that third year pre-MBA folks at MBB would leave for, if they’re lucky enough to land it. If you are thinking executive roles longer term, then MBB and business school may have an edge, but it’s really up to you. If you’re post-MBA and I’m right on the title progression at MBB, I would say McKinsey then FB.

But it’s a wash. You can’t go wrong either way and there is no clear path to/from either option. Great opps and network regardless.

I work at Facebook. You have freedom do what you want but even at the most junior levels it means there’s no structure or consolidated prioritization of work which can be frustrating. If you need structure, go McKinsey. If you don’t, fb

Great job!! How did you land both offers? Any secrets to share :)? What are they offering you at McKinsey? I’m interviewing for experienced hire with McK. If there isn’t much of a difference in pay, I’d say Facebook. You can go with McK later

I vote McK for a year to get on resume and then go to Facebook.

Like all other posters, I’m inclined to say that taking Facebook is a no brainer.

However, there are some instances where McKinsey may make more sense

1) You love to travel - a lot!
2) You don’t like getting deep into understanding technology
3) You want to one day be CEO of a non-tech F500 company

like

McK, fb is overhyped and you won’t get as much as a basic skill bootcamp as at McK.

Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
