Have any of you left consulting for a Product Manager role? Do you find it fun, rewarding, interesting? Would you say you are on a path towards P&L ownership? How is it better/worse than consulting?

I was staffed as a PdM for awhile at a large company and it was great. It’s all of the above - the problems were detailed and required a lot of research and analytical thinking. This specific role did not have a p&l path but you do influence metrics. The ownership belongs to business. I’ve heard this is different at other companies but haven’t typically seen p&l ownership in product (senior pm and below). The work life balance is great (very few weekends and late nights) and compensation is better than in tech consulting.
