1) What are some good companies to work for (non FAANG/MS/Salesforce) if the ultimate aim is either S&O at Google or PM at Google?

2) Is startup experience (Series B+) looked on favourably compared to a mature Tech firm?

Currently at Big4 consulting - looking to gain some relevant experience before applying again to FAANG.

Do you have an mba? The S&O people I know have those degrees

Also last time I spoke to a senior product mgr he was confused that I was in pso because most of his pms had my background (a long time spent at big 4 / accenture tech consulting )

@acn1. Yes and no. If you want to come in directly from your mba then you need to come from a target school that we recruit from. Those are too schools.

If you are coming from somewhere else then your work experience matters a whole lot more.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
