3.5 YOE in tech and management consulting at Deloitte. Looking to make the next move, get paid more, and set myself up as best as possible to get into a good MBA program and for good job ops post-MBA.
Considering either going to McK, BCG, or PM at Google. I have relevant experience for any of them.
Role would be 1-2 years and then I’d like to go get my MBA. Any insight as to the best move and why would be appreciated!
TC: $110,700
YOE: 3

Suck it
I used to work for PayPal and Amazon before and I don’t even consider those as brands strong enough to get me a G PM job.
How will you evaluate those experiences which you get by studying /collaborating with some of the smartest people out there, the network which you'll build and lot of other intangible experiences.
A B-school should not be treated as a placement agency. Studying at a good B School (read Tier-1) will not only help you evolve professionally but also personally.
And just a word of caution: Don't overestimate yourself , there are bunch of smart folks having similar experience as yours and still struggle to get into MBB/ FAANG. Play with your strengths, stay humble and learn as much as you can. Nothing else matters !
And of course - don’t want to put the cart too far ahead of the horse here. I know my targets of MBB and/or FAANG pm are ambitious. Definitely not a shoe in but I think I have a strong background and some solid connections/referrals which could help the cause. I’ll stay humble! Thanks mate.
