Currently L5 at Amazon. TC 220K. CS at top Ivy League I’m thinking moving to google as a software engineer or getting an MBA and going to google as PM or TPM. What does TC look like for me 5, 10 years down the road I like coding but also interested in product/business side.
For somebody with your profile, you can easily switch internally into tpm or pm role. Not sure if mba is worth it. Look into part-time mba once u join google maybe?
Software Engineer w/ 10 years at Google might be worth more than TPM w/ 10 years at Google
If your goal is to just be a PM and move up the corporate hierarchy, MBA is not an absolute necessity. You can switch to a PM role internally. If your goal is to start a company or switch fields into VC etc, then a top 5 MBA will carry prestige and weight
So what you decided?

Your 2 years of lost earnings and MBA tuition is going to total like $550k, and your probably make the same as a PM.
