About to start my first PM job after consulting. Any tips to get myself prepared and ramp up quickly? Books to read, courses to take, etc.? Currently doing ops consulting, no tech background.

I started a small LLC on the side. My company is getting it's first client this month. Wondering if any 🐟 have recommended resources on setting up initial consulting business thru an LLC. Books, websites, tax strategies etc. My LLC is already incorporated, but looking for guidance with the next steps (creating contracts, invoices, etc)

Switching from consulting to product managment role. Any recs for prep (books, online courses, etc.)? Thank you!!! 😊😊

Looking for newer books on management consulting industry/concepts; other than the oft-mentioned, older Lords of Strategy (2010), The McKinsey Way (1999), or The Trusted Advisor (2001). Thank you!

Any good books/articles/etc to read before I start a new job after exiting consulting? Going to an ops role at a tech firm (I have no tech experience)

Anyone has ideas or books on how to stop being so competitive? I always want to be the best in everything I do. It has already bought me very far in my career, but the downsides are that I also compare myself to friends in consulting and (of course) I am not always the smartest one or youngest at my position ... I always feed better by pushing other women down which is such a bad habit 😔 I have everything I want in my life and I really want to work on this character trait... please help

Can someone influence me to take my cpa lol? I’m trying to avoid it but given that the firm pays for the books and exam fees, there is really no reason why I shouldn’t take it. It’s also good to have on my name as it’ll benefit me for life. I’m an auditor and looking to switch to advisory/consulting/pursue mba

Any good books/reads to learn aspects of Account Management / Engagement Management in context of tech consulting?

What are some publications, books, podcasts, online classes etc that can help me prepare for my first year in consulting? Have 5 years of experience in finance and making the jump to consulting.

Any recommendations on good consulting-focused books out there that help us become better consultants and strategic problem-solvers?

Notice there are so many people with debate experience in consulting. Kinda impressed. Any highly recommended books related to debate or communication in general?

From a consulting standpoint, any recommendations for good books to read while in quarantine. Years back heard about “ Art of Negotiation” but don’t remember the author or anything else. Anything people recommend.

Hi, would anyone be available to critique my resume? Also, I want to get out of consulting, but an absolutely horrible at selling myself because I don’t think I’ve done anything in my 3 years here. Does anyone have any good books that may help me with this?

What consulting books are good to read? Topics. How to climb the corporate ladder as fast as possible. Any other good consultant information.

Any really impactful books that have helped you career-wise? Not necessarily consulting focused. In need of guidance and a new book so figured I'd kill two birds with one stone or whatever.

Been doing IT strategy consulting for about 6 years now, coming from an engineering background & want to shape up on economics and finance. Any books/websites/... you 🐠 can recommend?

Posting here bc this bowl skews toward consultants. I'm considering a strategy consulting-like role. I have assumptions, but want to validate realities. Any tips on books, blogs, podcasts etc?
