I went from consulting to PM with a tech startup. It required some new skills but consulting is a good foundation to do well as PM.

Compared to partner it is a different type of management. No direct reports but guide and connect developers sales and marketing - which is quite a balancing act.

Not sure what you mean about “power alley”. If you want power, FAANG may not be the place for you. Engineers hold a lot of power in tech.

Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
