Bit of a noob question ... when ppl talk about exiting consulting for PM in FAANG, does PM stand for project mgmt, product mgmt or program mgmt?

Whats the difference among the three? Is project mgmt even a career track?

From my non-tech-role perspective, Product Manager researches user needs & potential demand (market validity), designs product (UX/UI), works across Eng & Finance & Sales/Mktg teams to launch product and monetize, then iterates to continue improving the product. They are basically the General Manager of a product launch team.

I was at Big 4 consulting for a year before lateraling to ACN recently. It’s been about 6 months at ACN. Now I have an industry offer for Product Manager, which has been my eventual goal. Would it be too soon to jump? Or should I stick around for better exits in a couple of years may be? I’m worried the frequent changes won’t look good on my resume
4 YOE overall, TC at Product Manager is about 20-25k > ACN.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
