TL DR: Any post MBAs in tech / gaming have some time to chat about how/why they chose their post mba role? Please DM me.

Context: Technically savvy (Comp sci undergrad) but not a SWE, got into "tech" consulting but tired of calling excel data analysis and rpa as "tech" (3 YOE). Want to jump into tech / gaming industry post mba. Not sure what role I should be chasing but told PM is the best career path but I have my doubts if thats the best path for me?

Any other post mba options / advice?

I would caution anyone about the gaming industry - they grind as hard as we do, at least, and often aren’t compensated nearly as well.

PM is hard to break in to, but comp sci background will help a lot. But if you don’t want to do it, your main other options are:

• sales
• marketing (e.g., PMM)
• customer success
• growth (e.g., analysis to move prospective customers down the funnel)
• BizOps/Strategy/chief of staff
• Partnerships / biz dev
• Supply chain / operations (e.g., hardware businesses, or capacity/demand modeling in two-sided markets/biz models — such as digital health)
• probably something I’m missing

Hello. Just curious on what's the salary ceiling for a manager position at Deloitte? Received a verbal offer and waiting on written offer.
