This is sooo helpful! I’m interning in sales strategy & operations this summer for big tech and noticed a lot of my team have consulting backgrounds (I later realized that the consulting -> s&o pivot is quite common) but really enjoyed learning about google business model and your experience landing this role!

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

1st of all, hope you're having an awesome summer! And yes - if you're in sales S&O there are definitely going to be lots of consultants lol. It's a very popular exit these days. Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations Matt🎉, I don't know why this feels so much personal like a personal goal which is met may be because the way you shared your life moments with us with so much honesty and passion. So so happy for you!!!!! ❣️ It would be great if you could make one video for explaining different commerce background roles which Google offers. Wishing you all the best for your new journey. Keep growing and shining 🌟.

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the question! Will 100% make a video about this in the near future...it was not a smooth road by any measure - lots of applying, interviewing, getting rejected, and trying again (for context, I applied to Google 5 times over the last year and was rejected every time except the 5th time).

@johndavid609 Ай бұрын

Hey Matt! Great content as usual, found all your videos super helpful though I was hoping you'd post a video on your cover letter - quite an undercovered part of applications

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

Hey John! Thanks for the comment - tbh I don’t think cover letters are useful in the application process. I may be biased but from my experience applying to many jobs + interviewing candidates, it is a low ROI activity. I did not apply to BCG or Google with cover letters - your resume is just far more important imo. Most hiring managers are reviewing hundreds of applications and are only going to skim a cover letter at best. Feel free to disagree with me of course - this is just my humble opinion!

Hey Matt, you said something that caught my attention. Can you make a video elaborating on how you became a beast at execution, getting sh*t done an driving results like mentioned at 4:15ish? A lot of what I've learned is around strategy so I'm curious about your experienced with the execution side of things

Absolutely I'll add it to my running list of video ideas!

Congrats! Amazing to see how your journey goes. What are the background of a typicsl S&A team at google? Is it mostly filled by business or tech backgrounfs?

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

Thanks Aaron! Appreciate you stopping by. My team is like 90% ex-MBB consultants and 10% ex-bankers, but my sample size is limited so don't take that as fact - on average though I'd say most people either come from consulting/finance or some similar S&O role at another company.

Thanks for the video! Was curious how compensation compares between IB, BCG and Google?

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

It’s pretty well documented that IB pays > Consulting, with tech comp varying depending on your role, but in my case it’s similar to consulting comp but skewed towards equity vs cash

Interesting you said "*even* Search" when you were listing examples that fall under the Services category. I'm a Googler myself as well and have always thought of Search as the epitome of Google's many services.

Honestly you're right, google and search are pretty much synonymous at this point...

@blah6851 Ай бұрын

Did you have tech projects specifically while at BCG? Or was consulting in general enough to be qualified to join google after your time

@matthuang21 Ай бұрын

worked on 1 tech project, but tbh consulting experience in general is enough to do the job - for S&O they care more about your ability to problem solve and manage different stakeholders

Only a few weeks in, but yes I expect WLB to be better in this position because (1) I'm no longer in client services, and (2) Google is a much slower moving company than BCG
