PM at Big Tech vs OW Consulting vs C1 BA
I'm looking at where I want to join full-time. The options I have are:
-
PM at Big Tech (think AMZN, MSFT, LinkedIn, Twitter)
-
Consulting at OW in major city (Chicago, NYC...)
-
Business Analyst at Capital One
The criteria I'm considering are:
-
Interest - tech wins here. the team I'll be joining is extremely exciting.
-
Pay - tech wins here too by almost 2x, but I'm not sure about long term pay.
-
Exit Opps - this is where I'm most conflicted. The chances I could go into PE or VC through OW seem higher (though probably not close to MBB or IB), and I feel like I might be interested in this path because of the pay and prestige, but I'm not sure.
-
Prestige - tech company probably wins here, but OW might take the cake in business circles.
I think C1 is probably my last choice, so it's between OW and tech. I'm most passionate about tech and the team I would join is extremely exciting, but for some reason the consulting lifestyle seems like a lot of fun and gives broader exits.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, if anyone wants any advice, happy to provide that as well with whatever knowledge I have. Thanks!!
choose tech. you can exit easily through brand recognition or also reset to anything else through mba
Also PM at big tech company to VC is very doable from what I’ve heard
Take tech - current OW
Which tech, if AMZN or MSFT then do it, but not LinkedIn or Twitter
definitely wouldn't take amazon over linkedin/twitter PM
Current OW as well - would also heavily recommend tech. Arguably the best OW exits are to tech bizops/PM or MM PE; unless you feel very strongly about wanting to be in PE, going direct to tech wins across the board. And FWIW VC is probably easier out of tech PM than T2 consulting
