4.5 Years Post MBA from a New IIM and 2nd Job Switch - AMA!

Hey everyone!

A little over a year ago, I did an AMA here after making my first job switch post-MBA.

A quick update since then:

CAT 2019 → New IIM → ~3 years in consulting → switched to the industry side → now at ~4.5 years of total post-MBA experience and making another switch, this time into consulting/strategy (Non-MBB)

Quite a bit has happened since the last AMA, and since I'm currently serving my notice period, thought I'd come back and do this again.

Happy to answer anything around MBA, consulting, job switches, compensation, career progression, interviews, or the general post-MBA job hunt based on my experience.

Will try my best to answer everyone, although replies might take some time.

Thanks!

I built an open-source, privacy-first PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. I'd love some feedback.

Edit1: Just wanted to put it out, I used help from claude code and Google antigravity to build this. I guess I should have pointed it out clearly. My bad.

I've been working on Slate, an open-source PDF editor that runs entirely in the browser. The goal is to provide a clean, privacy-first alternative to online PDF editors.

This comes from something I have been looking to use.

No uploads, no accounts, and no ads. Everything stays on your device.

It's still an early work in progress, but the core features are functional:

  • Edit PDF text
  • OCR for scanned PDFs
  • Merge PDFs
  • Reorder, rotate and delete pages
  • Add images to PDFs

(One feature I picked from one of the fellow redditors @gounisalex)

Their GitHub Repo : https://github.com/AlexandrosGounis/pdfx

I'd really appreciate feedback from you all.. I'm especially interested in thoughts on the UX, performance, bugs, and what features you'd expect from a tool like this.

I'd appreciate any honest feedback or criticism. I'm trying to make this something people would actually prefer using.
