Ease of exiting consulting into a project/product manager role at a top tier software / video game firm? Most job postings say "must have exp. delivering $MM game," but can a $MM case count??

Very difficult to break into product management from consulting if it’s a top tech company that FANG PMs or M7 MBAs may target. If it’s not then there’s a higher chance of getting in.

As for your case, it depends on if it mimics product management and product launches. Your role in making that happen also matters for applicability.

Agree with airbnb. I'm a manager and targeting prod management. Realize it will prob require a bit of a step back but it's important that the trade off is worth it in terms of opportunity to learn /advance at the place you jump, or set you up well for a FANG jump in the future.
