Hey all, I'm a Product Manager 9 months into a Big4 consulting manager role. I've come to the conclusion that although I can succeed in consulting, my preference is to own the roadmap and have a larger influence on the 'what' for a product instead of offering recommendations and executing on another PMs backlog. I've now accepted an offer as PM at a well SaaS product company, where I will have a more hands on role, shaping the product and delivering valuable outcomes. Thoughts welcome! :)
Sounds like you listened to your gut and made the decision. Where ya headed?
I'm off to Workday, UI Platform PM.
I think you made the right to decision and you’ll be able to do much more of the aspect of your previous job that you’re most passionate about.
Sounds like a good move
