I work largely with data visualization/ETL tools with some exposure to machine learning, d3js, and data engineering.

I'd eventually like to transition out of this role to working product management at data technology company (e.g. Tableau, DataRobot, etc).

I probably won't leave consulting for another year or two, but want to augment my skillset so when I'm ready to make that transition it'll be easier. Consequently, was looking for advice from others that have made the transition into product management.

I can answer for Deloitte and say IT’S AMAZING!!! We don’t have util metrics and wfh full time. I fell into it through our internal staffing system since they needed someone not in India to handle gov contracts for a specific product. It’s kinda boring sometimes and there’s a lot of politics, but I will happily deal to be able to wfh full time

Possibly, not sure. Look up LRA within Deloitte.

Learning to actually code if you don’t steady

I’d say intermediate level is sufficient. Enough to understand what’s technically feasible given a specific time frame and what isn’t. That also depends on skill of the dev team, but being able to bridge the gap to some extend would be helpful so that you’re not asking too much

I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
