What’s your end goal? PA can help if you’re looking to get to Partner or flexibility or want to pivot but if CFO is your goal and you like the industry you’re in, stay the course or switch to another company. If you’re not sure, PA can also help but I would try a different service line then what you were before

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
