Which would you take: “Strategist” role at AWS or Associate at McKinsey? I have no clear goals long term at this time :/

Associate at McKinsey is likely to pay more, grow comp faster, and open more doors.

However, a lot of people at McKinsey are trying to get jobs at Amazon.

So if you think you might want a career in tech, take Amazon. If you’re really not sure take McK.

If you have no clear goals then consulting would likely allow for more general exits

McKinsey all day. Luckily I will never be able to make this decision though

Sleep on this - think about whether you’d end up wanting to go from McK to Amazon in the future.

Both will be great on your resume. McK will open more doors later.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
