Currently in tech consulting. Currently having a good offer to exit to a Program Manager role at a tech company. Should I do it? Will it harm my chance of getting back to consulting, especially strategy consulting later? Should I still accept the Program Manager offer if I plan to go to B-school in 2 years to pivot to strategy consulting?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.
