T2 Consultant (3YOE) here who wants to land a FANNG Product Management role in a couple of years. Do you think it's worth doing an MBA to make the transition? Or is PM obtainable without the MBA?

It’s obtainable without an MBA, but an MBA is a more straightforward route. Even with MBA you are competing against technical folks at M7 for G/F, but amazon is a near guarantee.

I’ve seen folks go from T2 > Apple/Amazon a few times. Another route is to take a job at F/G and then interview for a PM role after a year or two.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
