A weird mix of strategy and implementation. You have to understand why your project matters & how it links to the business and their use cases. Need to understand and be able to create the roadmaps, timelines, KPIs/benchmarks, and work to find new areas of growth for your program. Then you have to understand the “why” behind when a dev tells you the schedule is falling or they’re blocked on X.

I would try to get on projects with tangible outputs versus pure strategy.

Adding this because I find this type of information helpful. Went through the interview process with Meta. They moved quick. Recruiter, hiring manager, and full loop all in a two week period. (I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…

Recently got an offer for salesforce sales strategy (105K TC) vs Morgan Stanley IB Strategy (135K TC). Salesforce will be 40-50 hours a week remote until 2022 and then will have a hybrid working model, most likely going in office 2-3 times a week vs Morgan Stanley will be on average 60 hours a week in office full time. Is it worth the 30K extra in compensation to commute to office daily + 10-20 more hours per week? In terms of pay progression, I think Morgan Stanley will definitely be a lot fast
