What’s big 3?
Lol, if you think this is a debate I got bad news for you kiddo
Big 3. The high TC in Faang is due to stock appreciation that may or may not last.
Stock appreciation does boost TC but the yearly RSU grants (100k+) is what really boosts the TC at a faster rate at FAANG. Which makes FAANG much more attractive than Big-3
Do places like BCGDigitalVentures and BainDigital count as “big 3”?
OP means MBB, and these are basically MBB divisions, so yes
I hear from FAANG recruiters all the time, but never from big 3. How and where do big 3 do their recruiting?
I know many people that are trying to get from McKinsey to Facebook (variable success), but not a single one even thought of going the other way
This. Everyone in Consulting eventually wants to work at FANG. Never heard of people in tech wanting to do consulting
Is this even a question? 😕
You gotta think about bias before posting this... blind is full of Bay Area and tech - that alone will make people vote fang..
Pay is less and hours suck, but living the consulting life for a year or two can be very educational and motivating. Just try to stick to shorter engagements if you end up with the option. You'll gain a lot of "real world" perspective and learn a thing or two about effectively pushing projects into existence. The reason I only say a year or two is that most consultants burn out, and tech people get tired of being underpaid compared to their ppt making counterparts.
If product (or want to become exec), go to big 3. If you want to become very senior technical IC, go to FANG
