Advisory promotion or lateral to Product?
I'm a manager up for promo this year, but I have an opportunity to move to the product team of a F100 client. Product is B2B and regulated so lots of stakeholder mgmt (politics) and can be slow. My goal is PM in an innovative tech firm eventually (doesn't have to be FAANG). I got some advice to take the promo for better comp ($15-20K delta), title and move later as I still have good relationship with the client. 8 YOE + MBA

If you want to be in product, what’s important is that you get product experiences. Your consulting experiences won’t matter as much. Take the product role and jump from there

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
