Currently in the process of interviewing with MBB and G. Given that G is non-tech position, I am wondering if it's still worth it to move or if I should go to MBB.

Any advice is appreciated!

    Unless you really love Finance....Go to MBB, get the stamp, come to tech in better roles.

    Also, get the offers first before posting.

    How much TC is google offering? No idea why you’d go for lower pay and more hours instead of Google, when you’re looking to end up at Google anyway.

      No equity? No thanks 🙅‍♂️ When I was younger I was dead set on consulting. Realized I’d make half the hourly rate (because of those 60-80 hour work weeks) and got no skin in the game. End state was to end up in the most interesting and forward moving industry, so came to my personal conclusion that consulting would have been a (very interesting and probably fun) life detour.

      I’m an L4 at G finance and my base is 121k, 22k bonus, and 90k GSU over four years. This is with three years experience outside of tech and a masters in engineering. That being said, although I’m a financial analyst by title, my primary function is leveraging machine learning and simulation to solve finance problems which isn’t typical for the role. Most people here are spreadsheet people putting together PnL and managing expenses. I found problems you work on as a consultant or business analyst are more interesting than the BAU at G finance.

    Google. 1 you’ll grow faster and won’t be downleveled 2. Even after mbb it’s still hard to get in so why wait 3. Brand value is almost as high as mbb and, if you stay in your functional area, it’s even higher. 4. Better wlb if this matters 5. More opportunities to switch internally or try a tech role or even PM rotation (vs trying to come from mbb as a PM). 6. Your TC will be comparable if not equal and $/hr much higher

      Disagree. I’ve seen friends in finance struggle with it.

      I’m in G finance L4 and my base is 121k, 22k bonus, and 90k GSU over four years, 3 YOE outside tech in a role comparable to MBB. It’s not as high as a software engineer with the same YOE as me, but it’s better than what I used to get outside of Google.
