Time to leave McKinsey and I know I want to retire from w-2 life asap, move into entrepreneurship (mix of real estate/purchasing businesses such as Landry mats), have a good WLB, and work with cool people. Mostly everything else is negotiable. Have a few opportunities I’m debating Google Strat Ops Lead, Sr.Director Strat Ops Cap One, Director, Commercial Strat (Ed Company), Director Org efficiency (Big Pharma) what should I think about for this range of opportunities and given my goals.

I don’t think working at Google or Big Pharma is going to teach you how to run a successful laundromat lol. So whatever sounds interesting for now and pays the most. Holler if you have real estate questions.. I hope you’re handy 😉

…it was in response to holler if you have any real estate questions + hope you’re handy!

Your list is a good start. Of the opportunities you’re considering, which will
1) get you closer to your goal of entrepreneurship, e.g. by giving you real life operations experience?
2) allow for wlb so you can also learn/dabble in entrepreneurship on the side?
3) provide the company culture you seek?

I’d suggest mapping out what skills makes a good entrepreneur (research, talk to folks, etc.) and comparing with your own skills. Identify the gaps, and compare against the opportunities you have lined up. Select the one that will help fill those gaps. I’d prioritize this over everything else because it’ll get you on your way to understanding what it takes to leave the w2 life behind.

Feel free to slide in my dms to chat more.
All the best!

Do you have offers for any of these opportunities? Given that the job market is currently hot garbage I’d start with that.
