What's better if I want to work in tech / product strategy (idk something like that) in the future: an entry-level role in a boutique consultant firm or a ~2YOE ops role in a FAANG? Have a year of experience from a boutique strategy house but was laid off due to COVID.

I've heard sentiments that consulting is a fast-track up the tech corporate ladder!! But point taken, was leaning that way in any case haha cheers!

How is this a question?

Fair question for those less informed - can someone be additive & actually provide some answers?

Surely OP created this post just to flex 😂

Just go straight to tech

If you want to work in tech, I’d recommend working for a tech company.

More likely to get hired with tech experience, more likely to get a higher role with consulting experience

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

When do you all think it’s time to exit to take your startup on full time? Is there a certain income threshold you’d want it to hit combined with personal savings?

It’s grown from 200 a month to almost 2k a week of profit over the past five months. Has been increasing from 1.5 to 2+ over the past 3 weeks. Contd

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
