This is helpful. What are the skills they look for
When hiring MBAs?

Realistically: send a tons of emails and sit in a tons of meetings.

It’s a lot of stakeholder alignment, taking feedback from users, measuring things, prioritizing work, understanding key drivers of revenue for your product, understanding competitive landscape and how your product fits in. It’s tons of context switching and handling several aspects of building and maintaining a technical product.

Is there a certain name used for this kind of role that I’m aware of rather than strategist, or are these types of entry level roles just hard to come by? Thanks!

Trying to evaluate monetary offers is difficult since I receive a significant bonus for maintaining my clearance (120k + 30k for the clearance). So I’m evaluating a non-cleared offer for 180k. I don’t want to hold the clearance anymore. Should I evaluate it against the 120 or the 150 in terms of answering the question “is the jump big enough to leave?” With bonus and without clearance, it’s a 40% or so jump, but only a 12-15% jump with only bonus and base included.
