Everyone says there r great exit opportunities for consultants. The tech companies find the work that I have done unappealing (not a shocker as I've hated doing it) Any tips to get into Product Mgmt?

That's why getting on the right project is crucial...never take just something to stay billable. If nothing is working out for u at EY, that's a great reason to jump ship to another firm. Also, tech companies have way more technical interviews so brush up on those skills. I also recommend tailoring your resume more towards the roles you are interested. For example, I used to do QA, I hated it. So I didn't mention the boring test work I did too much, but focused on my expertise of the features and technologies that I knew were in demand, make sense? It resulted in a lot of recruiters calling me for the right roles, and maybe 2 tester roles. Good luck!

What's your prior experience like? Have you been in consulting throughout your career?

@EY1 I've been at EY for 2 years and I joined straight out of college. I'm aligned to analytics, but haven't been on any analytics engagements. Did an implementation in a testing capacity and then got sucked into some data cleansing BS for several months in the name of utilization. I've tried talking to the EMs, counselor, networking, etc. not really having an luck.

Didn't realize Deloitte had expanded the services offered to such an extent 😂. What was your interview like, D2?

A lot of pinky

OP, there's plenty of analytics focused product firms that should have roles that you'd find interesting. The way they operate is very different so you may have to start at a junior product mgmt role though.

@ACN1 I followed your advice and updated my resume and LinkedIn to be more Product management focused. It's only been 2 days and I just got a messaged by a recruiter for about an open Associate Product Management role! Thanks for the great advice!

Awesome!! Glad to hear!
