Product managers at pwc dont do much when compared to real product roles. Its better to exit early to gain some real world experience

Product at any consulting company is not a real product role since it’s always going to be second fiddle to the main revenue drivers (advisory, audit, tax) services. A product focused company is much more intentional about the time and effort spent on the product and product managers there will have more influence on the direction of the business

Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
