Would FANNG hire us tech/strategy consultants as PM/TPM/PMM? Don't want to spend two years and $$$ on MBA just for making that transition...

The answer is different for each one of those.

(T)PM - big tech hires tech consultants with product experience for either PM or TPM. Strategy consultants can make the jump, but usually to PM (not TPM) at startups. It’s a lot more rare for a strategy consultant to hop to FAANG directly as a PM. Some companies hire PMs out of MBA, like Amazon for example

PMM - don’t really see consulting to PMM.

Are you asking if it’s possible to be hired without getting the MBA?

Yes it is! You’ll need to up your networking game and probably ask 🐠 here in FB or through your bubble for intros/connections as a start.

Why would it matter if you’re getting an MBA from a program where they recruit from?

Ahh I see, I misinterpreted.

Hello guys!!
Can anyone of you please help me out? Or atleast some advice!!

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

Any sort of help/advice is more than welcome!
