What are the best exit opportunities for an analyst who wants to jump ship in 1-2 years (postgrad)? I have a finance background with previous tech experience. My dream is to work in strategy!

FAANG front office roles such as Product Manager (APM) , Biz Ops, Strategy & Analytics, etc.
The insane amount of RSUs offered are the best way to create wealth, which is why even people in IB or buy side are switching over to FAANG.

Best of luck OP!
