I have 3.5 years of experience working as a brand manager at Proctor & Gamble. This was a graduate position (started as assistant brand manager, the standard position at P&G).I have been offered two interesting job options and would appreciate some advice.1. A consultant (C2) at Accenture- management consulting- CRM or HP groups- first client would be a top client on a marketing spend/product development project.2. Product manager at a F500 technology company (considered prestigious). I would like to apply to a top business school in ~2 years. Thank you for your advice.

I would consider the direction that you want to go in once you have finished business school when making this decision.If you want to remain in product/brand management, then I'd take the second job, or the CRM role.If you'd like to widen your options, then HP would be a good option.

Hi ANON1, I'm currently contemplating an offer from P&G to take up an Assistant Brand Manager position (UK). Also weighing up an offer from a pretty good mid-size strat. consulting firm (cf. the post titled 'Imminent Decision Dilemma...').Would be v. interested to hear a bit about your experience and how you ended up with the two job options you mention. If you'd be happy to discuss, drop me an email at dj255@cam.ac.uk.Cheers!PS Sorry I can't offer you any thoughts on your initial question!

I think that Accenture Management Consulting is the superior choice. It will open the most doors in the future, including business school and client-facing consulting jobs and top industry jobs after business school. However, how "prestigious" this industry job is also a factor. Are you referring to product management at Google or Microsoft? If so, I would personally still choose Accenture (MC) but agree with RL that your choice is dependent on your goals after business school.
