TCS is the worst company one can be in.
Cheap mindset management cares more about timesheet,wfo,forceful mandatory trainings,imposing strict restrictions on laptop,access to personal docs only via vpn,no employee well being no salary hikes nth at all.90% projects filled with freshers coz they cost less.No WLB for good dedicated hard working employees as they are punished with more and more work, leaves rewards mostly for people who don’t work.But no issues kyunki job security hai 😂

Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Software at FAANG and it’s not even close
These are very different jobs. Do the one you’ll enjoy more — it will lead to higher performance anyway 🙂
Tech swe. A corporate job has a slower career progression than, say consulting. So 10-15 yr in corporate would be what, an SM in consulting (where consulting is not mbb)? Faang swe can make SC or manager money in year 1.
What you should consider isn't role, but aptitude and desire. The kind of people who go into strategy because they want to run a business are not the same as the people who go into engineering because they like working by themselves on complex problems. And aptitude. A mediocre swe will make more in the long run than a mediocre f100 corp strat person. They'll never reach the heights of their careers, but swe higher pay will maintain a lead. But all bets are off if they're un the top 1% of their fields; the strategist can become a hotshot ceo/executive, and the other can be a hotshot expert on swe or be a startup founder.

10-15 years?!
I think tech still wins if you include investing the initial salary difference in the market...
If Both are good performers and promote in a similar time, I think it'll take until the VP level for a f100 corp strategy role to get ahead of the SWE role
Whichever path gives you RSUs with the potential to appreciate. Could be FAANG SWE, could be Corp strat.

You'll be rich either way. Do what you're better at, the additional $$ won't be worth the feeling you'll have if you don't fit in/perform to your fullest
Tech swe assuming you have the aptitude and interest. Could also shift to management role too.
Terminal level roles in top tech cos right now pay equivalent to upper level management in f100, many times more if the f100 is in lcol. It’s hard to get to upper management, few roles in the pyramid but lots and lots of ic terminal roles in swe.

One underrated aspect of SWE is the fact that you can work part time or contract once you develop your skill set. This means you can retire early and pick up interesting projects at your convenience.

Check out principal or distinguished engineer TC as SWE
Hitting even staff eng is an enormous feat, please god don’t look at levels.fyi, pick an equivalent YOE and assume that’s where your TC is going to end up
In tech the SWEs/PMs generally become upper management, not the strat/ops folk.
