Which would you pick: MBB strategy consultant or FAANG Product Manager ?
Looking to explore... have 1 interview lined up with MBB, but seems like FAANG PM pays more?
I am currently at 3.5 YOE and hoping for Manager promo this PA cycle, but for sure know I will not be making the same $$$ at Accenture

FAANG if you want to do PM work. MBB will lead to many other high-paying exit ops if you don’t want to pigeonhole yourself just yet

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.
