Amazon SDM L6, grew to this role from L5 SDE. I obtained an MBA during my time at Amazon as well, and I know have an offer from BCG at their Principal level. The BCG Principal role offer is about $20K TC more than my current SDM comp, which is immaterial at this point. It is more about the career path in which BCG brings to journey. What do the Blinders think, would you welcome a role in a reputable consultancy to solve business problems, or just stick it through in big tech?
TC or GTFO
Single? Married with or without kid(s)? Introvert or extrovert? Location/%travel preference?
@carrothole this is the crux. Married with a 3yo and 1yo at home. Definitely not the best time to pursue a role in MBB, but it’s not going to get any better.
A friend of mine had the path planned the other way around. He started with BCG, got all the money and the craziest experience in the world before marriage. Now he is a dad and a boring manager at FAANG.
Bcg would open lot of other doors for you. Btw tc or gtfo
Which doors?
Really depends what you want to do in career.. Amazon will be more balanced and will keep you grounded in technology..
BCG for network and work tbh, I didn’t realize until I left Amazon for another FAANG how much Amazon heads down doc writing work culture stifled my network growth til got to more collaborative supportive culture, as they say your network is more valuable than networth!
At Amazon, nuts and bolts just need to be formed into replaceable parts so they fit with one another in the machine. Parts don't need to network to be functional.
But fr TC or GTFO
What your current TC?
400
Thanks.
What kind of role at BCG?
How did you do mba in parallel with your Full Time job at Amazon?
