Depends a bit on what your interests and experiences are. Customer Success is a nice entry point if you enjoy the client relationship side of consulting. Project management, product management, and program management are all areas where former consultants might go as well. It just depends on what you're good at and how well you can spin your experience to be relevant.
Product management jobs are really difficult to get for me- out of college, it was my first choice job but each listing required experience I didn’t have. How should I counter this?
Depends on what you want to do! Can’t really answer your question if you don’t know what kind of work you like doing and want to keep doing after leaving consulting.
I ended up becoming a PM because I’m obsessed with the end-user experience (I cared about patients and physicians the most while as a consultant) and wanted to be able to design solutions for them.
Customer success / implementation manager / deployment strategist (all similar roles) tend to do really well with people who like project management work (aligning the team on deadlines and ensuring work gets delivered on time).
Business development or alliance management for people who really liked working with clients on a strategic level, like brainstorming and scoping out projects.
Business/Strategy operations if you like streamlining processes for teams or also wearing a bunch of hats (essentially a “do whatever needs to be done” type of role, depending on the company, while also contributing to strategy/business decisions)
Lots of business analyst / data analyst roles if you liked the forecasting / analytics side of the consulting job.
