What are my chances of getting a TPM, program manager, or other management role at a big tech company (Microsoft, Google, Amazon) after my MBA if I was only a senior associate (4 yoe) prior to my MBA? Especially if its an m7 MBA?

Could you explain the logic behind that number? I'm trying to figure out if waiting on the MBA is better for me if I can't get a management role without being a manager prior to my mba.

I mean I really have no idea. I wrote that as a joke but your earnest reply now has me feeling bad. I would suggest reaching out to your target schools and finding out placement rates at the firms you mentioned. They should all have these numbers readily available. Also reach out to any grant Thornton alumni at your target firms and ask to have a brief phone call about their transition into tech and how you might best position yourself. LinkedIn is an amazing resource.

LinkedIn provided the answer. Turns out quite a few people went from SA to a M in those companies (usually m7, + an internship). No worries on the joke percentage- wasn't expecting much of a response since it was posted at 3 AM for me.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working as a product manager in an internal consulting department at Kaiser Permanente a on software product that maps and automates clinical workflows.

Does anyone have any advice on ways to break into tech or suggestions of companies to look into?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
