Has someone successfully moved out of Big 4 to a Product Manager role in Tech? Is there some alignment/ overlap between consulting skill sets and the PM role? Is the pay better or comparable? Also from a career progression standpoint which seems better remaining in consulting or pivoting to a PM role?

I think it’s rare unless you’re in a product management function within big 4. There is some overlap in skill sets ofc, but it’s hard to pivot to PM when you’re competing against people with tech PM experience. Tech PM work motions are pretty different than consulting.

Unless you’re going for start ups that may be more willing to take a chance on newbie PMs.
