Biggest interest is product management, but interviewing for strategy and ops senior assoc role at (uber, DoorDash, Lyft) company. Pay increase is there. What are thoughts is it more operations that strategy and would it make me stuck? Or good to take this and pivot to product after and exit consulting now?

Depending on which B4 you’re at, you have a better shot at getting involved in product projects at your B4 and using that to pivot. Pivoting internally at a company is hard.
