1. which tech companies are friendly to consultants? 2. which positions are best? And which ones would I have a real chance? 3. For Google specifically, would this be enough "tech" knowledge for a PM role? ---- Background: I want to leave consulting soon, within the next 12 months. Mostly because of WLB but also don’t feel like I’m learning a lot nor I am motivated to stay until partner and make real $. Currently Sr. Associate, will probably leave as manager. Computer engineering in Undergrad outside the US, MBA from US top school. Joined consulting out of undergrad so never used tech background in consulting, however I can still “read/understand” code (C, python, sql, Java, R). Would probably have a hard time cracking the basic stuff without hours on google/stack overflow if I had to code myself. Not very familiar with Tech roles not how the recruiting process works, but I like the industry and attractive TC/WLB. YoE: 5 real work + 2 MBA #tech #consulting
If you prefer consulting like work then maybe Corp strategy, if more impact and leadership then PM.
Oh god, please stop bending backwards for FANG, jfc. Anyone, literally anyone, can hire a 6-pack dev team, teach them Leetcode for 30days and send them off to FANG. You don’t have to do this. You don’t need to learn code. Your exit should be being a decision maker, not writing JIRA tickets as a PM for a product no one cares about. Please do better. I’m speaking this as a BS/MS Computer Science graduate with my fair share of SWE/PM jobs. There’s nothing special about FANG.
