Amazon. PM at a product company will lead to better opportunities than PM at a consulting firm offshoot. My 0.02.

True. I mean it’s completely fine doing all of those things. But OP seems to have a choice, so it might make sense to go for Amazon. BCG DV is also pretty solid, but perhaps not the better option here.

Amazon for sure. People leave DV for these opportunities.

Thanks all! I interned at Amazon, so this would be a return offer there. I really don't know much about BCG DV and it's reputation/how well they've been doing, but the people I interviewed with did a good job selling the type of work I would be doing as a PM. Not sure how much of that is smoke and mirrors though

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar.

That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
