Generalist in supply chain. Have a year in industry, and just under 3 years in consulting. Disappointed that I haven't really found what I enjoy and that I am not known as an SME in any specific area.

I'm ready to leave consulting, but every company I interview with either notifies me that I lack technical experience or not enough expertise. (Tried applying for SC and business analyst roles.)

Would love to pivot into product management work. Any advice on how to prepare myself?
