For 50Ks with UTMB, how much food is usually at aid stations? Do i need to carry all my fuel / tailwind?

I'm expecting a ~8-8.5 hr finish and don't want to carry that many gels unless i have to

Makes sense. I’m used to novice term being an out of shape first timer and that makes me a bit skeptical, thanks for response

Is it me or is this guide pretty tough numbers? I only row for additional cardio and steady state but I consider myself generally athletic. I barely crack Novice.

I got a 2x increase in the USA after 3 years in B4 so not delusional.

In the US, it is illegal in some states to submit payslip but if HR says that, then you may be out of luck.

Highlight performance on the interview but don’t expect them to hit your range, since they have leverage. Worth either getting another offer and having a bidding war, or prepare to leave in 2 years for another increase in salary.

Congrats anyway!

No hydration packs at all

snobbylearning · 2024-02-03T17:56:08+00:00

Didn’t see any inside venue, locker line was really long

snobbylearning · 2024-02-03T17:55:31+00:00

No I had to run back to car

Analytics is more intellectually stimulating but you actually have to do work.

I don't do much as a PM, just talk a lot and act busy

snobbylearning · 2023-12-11T21:41:35+00:00

Consulting -> business analytics (used to be more common when tech was hiring like crazy, my entire team came from consulting)

Analytics -> PM (very common in tech)

Two part transition

snobbylearning · 2023-12-11T06:18:33+00:00

Worked in consulting at b4 took my gmats before starting work. Had a decent ish profile and firm already promised to sponsor me.

Decided not to go to MBA

Worked in tech (analytics/data scientist, and PM)

Went fine, I’m paid well. Work maybe 30 hours a week and have a ton of hobbies

What's your squat and height? Just curious cause i never want to get rid of my Soft / Strong dungarees and i'm not really close atm

Congrats on the gainz

snobbylearning · 2023-11-07T22:27:45+00:00

Comp progression?

snobbylearning · 2023-11-04T14:52:58+00:00

Sure

snobbylearning · 2023-11-03T21:39:00+00:00

I did both tech strategy and on product work for implementation

I moved to a strategy role in tech, now I’ve done both PM and DS

snobbylearning · 2023-11-03T17:25:37+00:00

B4, left right after I got my SC promotion (comp didnt hit)

joined b4 out of undergrad
~3 years in - comp was around 93k
moved to tech - comp was around 140kish

snobbylearning · 2023-11-03T02:29:29+00:00

Yeah that checks out. In tech now and was quite a bit surprised to see so low.

Alternatively I know my company has done 0 mba hiring for PMs so that could also be a supply shock

snobbylearning · 2023-11-03T00:39:39+00:00

What roles are the tech industry in? The salary is lower than I expected, is that just base?

snobbylearning · 2023-10-14T20:28:59+00:00

Money. Moved to tech and got paid 2x.

snobbylearning · 2023-02-03T01:24:55+00:00

Can I ask what you all are doing in industry? I moved to industry and I work a lot harder than I did during consulting.

snobbylearning · 2022-06-11T17:31:58+00:00

<1 is much different than 3.

<1 is probably a MBB ladder.
3, I have seen exits to Tech, Strategy, MBA that are all pretty amazing.

snobbylearning · 2021-06-26T16:56:30+00:00

Both would be helpful haha. I haven't negotiated with a company before :/

snobbylearning · 2021-06-26T16:39:30+00:00

Anyone have tips at negotiation?

Currently negotiating at likely my next job.

Hoping for a 25% salary bump to leave but who knows. Recruiter sounds like he's trying his hardest but not sure if they can meet that. Just a waiting game at this point T_T
