Microsoft vs. BCG
Hi Everyone!
So I basically have two job offers right now and I have to decide on one very soon. One is from Microsoft in their prestigious Finance Rotation Program and the other is from BCG. Microsoft is paying a decent amount more but the salary isnt that important to me as of now. I talked to some admissions counselors from M7 business schools to get their opinion and they said they view both of these opportunities at the same level. Personally, I kind of want to either go in the corporate development or product management route which Microsofts Finance Rotation Program promotes you to either a Corporate Development Manager or Product Manager in one of these areas after two years. Obviously, BCG is very prestigious consulting firm and probably has better exit opportunities. I'm not quite sure I want to go into Consulting though as of now. I see myself probably going into the FinTech space long term and maybe even at a startup. I would like to get peoples opinions and see what they think. Thanks!
If you want to be doing monthly reporting and forecasting to be excel wizzard, microsoft is for you! I spent time in their finance org but hated Corp fin! Excel all day and mind numbing!! Go to consulting, you would land a more bad ass gig post mba
The work at BCG is forsure going to be more interesting. I'm not sure about the Microsoft FRP placing you into product management and corporate development, unless I'm mistaken. It might be an option but my understanding is that most people will be placed in corporate finance roles after graduating from the program.
This is like asking should I take a back office job at a mid-tier firm or a front-office job at a top tier firm.
There’d have to be an extremely drastic personal reason to even consider the Microsoft position over BCG.
Everyone is going to want corporate development after the rotational program is over and they might not even have a single spot. It is by no means guaranteed.
lmao this is a troll post, right? The obvious answer is Microsoft. MBB is littered with guys who weren't smart enough to cut it at TOP TIER Corporate Finance LDPs. Go with your heart OP!
