With software dev experience, Id say software engineer > product manager > everything else

A1 if the dev experience was a while ago (college major + one internship) would it be enough to have an updated portfolio in order to pivot? Or would I need to find an SWE side hustle before looking for full time?

Program Manager or Technical Program Manager

Big tech will not hire you for a Product role unless you’ve already held one at another tech company.

TPM pays better but also has higher entry requirements. Yes, I’ve seen people switch to PM down the line.

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
