Me. I’m completely burned out on traveling and looking into internal transfer and exiting all together. More of a pay cut on internal transfer, but better balance trade off, e.g. flexibility, remote work. Exiting means more money, but going to an office everyday.

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
