1) product manager at a fintech startup or
2) corporate strategy at well established co

Corporate strategy role is all former MBB on the team and pays higher - long term I want to be in tech (I think) but not sure what the best role is (PM or strategy)

Ideally I’m doing something somewhat interesting / fulfilling, decent pay ($200k+) and not working more than 50 hours per week. Not sure what the best path is to optimise for all of the above. I’m not sure what would excite me the most sadly, hence why I am still in consulting

You would probably get more money in equity at a startup, but from what I've heard they work way more too.

I'm in strategy at JPMC and we barely do over 40h and I see my managers do the same hours as me. EDs are probably making 300k at 10+ YOE, a comparable level of experience at a startup could get you more.

What are your dimensions for “better”? Those are extremely different jobs where you’d be doing very different things. They’re not really one-to-one comparable, they’ll lead you down very different career paths.
