Yeah that's what I would like to chose..but the problem is that I have just started to explore as to which one would be easier for me to pivot considering my consulting background.. Program management looks easier (comparatively) to pivot but Product management is what's more interesting...

If you want to do product management then you can do Coursera, General Assembly, and other course arenas that prepare you pretty well. It sounds like you're interested in that the most, so I would try maybe a workshop and learn a bit more about what the gig really entails and if you're drawn to it.
