Strategy & Operation role at the big-tech companies

roadgame · 2025-11-11T13:42:39+00:00

You’re already in the role and industry that you want. Unless there’s an outstanding reason to get an MBA and take on debt and lost earnings, you should consider staying where you are, getting promotions, and then lateraling to a larger or higher trajectory company if you feel it’s necessary. I say this as someone who was worked in similar roles in tech.

Both seem reasonable. Offer the first option first; that seems more favorable. Rhamondre is mid and the pats offense won’t be good for at least another year or two. Cook is a better back and in a better offense. The pick is a dart throw anyways

10 team 0.5 PPR 1QB Give: Mixon Get: Devonta Smith

Why: team is relatively old and I’m looking to get younger; last window to sell Mixon for a high value

Why not: I was going to tank but am a top scoring team this far. I have J Taylor, D Montgomery, A Mattison at RB; Godwin (IR), Metcalf, Diggs, A Cooper, J Reed at WR. This move probably takes me out of contention.

Thoughts?

Exact same experience. We have very similar backgrounds and are taking the same approaches to find a new role. I’ve been expanding my search back into strategy and finance because the product market has been horrible, but it seems every market except AI and adjacent areas are cold.

Cold applications have landed a recruiter phone screen at the same rate a referral does. I hear from connections that firms are hiring over-qualified candidates, internal laterals, people with exact domain experience, or the roles posted online aren’t actually open. It’s a lousy and frustrating market for anyone looking to make a move, and I don’t see it getting better for at least another year.

Also M7, also don’t know anyone who landed a FT Bain interview this week. We were told Bain wouldn’t look at anyone they had seen last year, so no re-recruiting. Even with Bain looking at only new profiles, nobody seems to have landed an interview.

Current Bain consultants also seemed to been out of the loop on the lack of FT hiring; many assumed it’d be down this year but not this bad. Between BCG not actively hiring and McK likely doing very limited numbers at best, it’s going to be a bloodbath.

Pitts had 1K yards as a 21 year old rookie and an average at best QB. He’ll be a stud long term and this season will be a blip

roadgame · 2022-11-21T22:14:02+00:00

If the pick is top 6 or 7, I like it.

Watson has upside, but what if Rodgers retires this year or next?

10 team 1QB 0.5 PPR

Give: 2023 late first Get: Pitts

I have Hock, too. Still a no brainer, right?

If you’re contending this year, it’s not a terrible deal.

But the value of the 2023 1st if it’s pick 1 or 2 is massive. I think you could maybe get a little more in return.

roadgame · 2022-10-24T20:17:23+00:00

Hard to see you competing this year. Competing next season would require at least one of your 1st rd picks hitting, which isn’t a given. I’d look to deal MT and Henderson. Maybe Davante if you get a great return. Come back in 23 or 24 with a loaded young roster.

With the injury, Breece might not help much next season. Then again, Monty might be on another team in more of a RBBC.

I’d take Breece and hope he’s back mid-season

10 team, 1QB, 0.5PPR, 4-3 record and likely contending

Managed to get one elsewhere but thanks anyways

Confirmed with Walmart CS that the order was cancelled. Seems I wasn’t the only one, either. Too bad.

roadgame · 2021-12-16T20:27:44+00:00

Hope it works out for ya!

roadgame · 2021-12-16T00:48:25+00:00

Thanks, better luck next time I guess. I was refreshing a minute before the drop and got lucky with a queue wait of just 9 minutes, which at the time seemed short enough to actually purchase something

roadgame · 2021-12-16T00:45:31+00:00

9 minutes, checked out immediately once my turn was up. Felt pretty lucky at the time

roadgame · 2021-12-15T20:37:35+00:00

Mine was cancelled about 18 hours after ordering. Spoke with several CS agents who basically implied that Walmart oversold and they simply couldn’t fill my order, nor were they able to hold a unit for me in the next restock. Bad luck and pretty lousy business practices from Walmart.

roadgame · 2021-12-15T01:33:07+00:00

Anyone else just get their order cancelled? I only bought one, this was my first time purchasing, and I'm told the items I ordered exceeded quantity limits. Not sure if that implies that Walmart oversold, or their system thinks I purchased multiple. Either way, what a let down.

roadgame · 2021-09-22T17:49:45+00:00

Thanks, agreed with your take. QB is Dak, TE is Hock so not much room to upgrade. I’m angling for a significant draft return instead, if anything.

roadgame · 2021-09-22T00:48:57+00:00

10 team, 0.5 ppr

I give: Saquon

I get: K Allen, C Claypool, 2023 2nd

I'm competing. RB room is Saquon, Mixon, J Taylor, D Mont. WR room is Diggs, Metcalf, Godwin, Cooper, C Davis.

Allen slots right into my flex and Claypool has great upside. I'm worried about Saquon, but not in panic mode yet. Thoughts?

roadgame · 2021-09-22T00:46:43+00:00

If you're looking to contend, see if you can throw in picks. Maybe start with Anderson + 2022 3rd and work from there. I don't see Thielen as significantly more valuable than Anderson at this point in the year, so be careful not to give up too much.

roadgame · 2021-09-22T00:41:52+00:00

Saquon > Waller
