Currently work as an Ops Manager for Amazon and interviewing for a few roles - internally as project manager non-tech and externally as Management Consultant at a top firm. I genuinely do think I'd find the work as MC engaging, less certain about the PM one.

Debating if it's worth while to take the consulting gig if end objective (5 year plan) is a remote job that I find engaging.

Would appreciate thoughts from people in similar situations and how you navigated it.
