Being in the Bay Area I see quite a few people in my age group (25-30) don the role of product/program manager at tech companies. Is this similar to a manager at a big 4 firm?

No product managers dont always manage people, entry level product managers work across teams but manage a single product/ offering

Not at all - a manger does not equate to a program/project manger. Skillets for a 'manager' in the field are typically much greater and wider than your typical project manager. While they are not mutually exclusive, of course.

So many Program and Product Manager positions at tech companies in Bay Area

No

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
