To those in non-MBB: Would you rather have an offer in hand right now for MBB or FAANG pm? Assume it’s a lateral transition.

Up to before COVID times I’d have said MBB, but FAANG is probably more appealing now for a variety of reasons (more remote work which will mean a general reduction in consulting travel which I used to like, better WLB, etc) - ultimately MBB is something you do to have a wide range of experiences and enjoy the perks of it, but it’s all aimed at securing that golden exit, which FAANG is

FAANG hands down. We do some really interesting, challenging work in consulting, but the hours are unforgiving, the comp isn't what it used to be and the culture in general sucks. Only upside was getting to travel and explore places you wouldn't have ordinarily travelled to (including remote towns in the middle of nowhere - pretty cool experience unless you're doing it for > 3 months). With that out of the picture now, FAANG would be the obvious choice. Better perks, better comp, (generally) better culture, plus a solid brand name on your CV

Big Tech for sure. Better to much better WLB, the ability to have a life, and likely better comp trajectory.

I guess it depends which undergrads. From my perspective, it is a matter of skill and interest. Perhaps people like you who were perhaps already kind of interested in MBB or turned off by a SWE internship feel that way about PM as being a blend of business and engineering. I've seen that from the course 6 ppl who also double majored in 15. But either way, the CS majors who stick with SWE handily outnumber those who go for PM or MBB.

FAANG

Don’t the FAANG companies need you to be in their geographic vicinity? You can live in any city with MBB, right?

I work as a consultant for a small HR consulting service in Ontario, Canada. Our owner/president wants us to hit a revenue target of $1m this year. The closest we’ve come is $800k in 2019. We also noticed that in 2019 we hit our highest revenue but did the fewest overall client work for that year. In 2020 and 2021 we did more client work but fell short of $800k revenue. Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
