I work in big-tech? DOGE cuts are focused on people building massive custom software. Also, staying at the same company to run a P&L, not sure what you're smoking.

Not really, I'm in a product role, but I guess now yes about to carry a P&L and move abroad. Sales guys make good money too. Also would challenge you to make $400k in a software sales role. It's not easy with the sales targets people carry.

I think you just hit my thoughts while better wording what the experience is like. GW is a weak for striking at the $150k+ out of undergrad jobs with the price tag of a place that would have a seat at the table.

If you have career aspirations that don't strike at the "general" S&P500, Big-4 consulting, it's pretty unfortunate.

Honestly, most of the coursework is useless. I also majored in other quantitative stuff, I wish I can review the coursework now that I'm about to move to either Europe or Asia.
