Hi all, I'm a PowerPoint monkey moving over from consulting to a PM role. How transferable are my skill-sets (M&A Consulting). Are there any specific skills you'd recommend me brushing up on? Thanks!

got an offer already? what level? (level sets context on what ownership you’ll have and Leadership you’ll need to portray)

most likely the critical thinking, concise comms, and ability to think big and act small are the relevant points

the rest of it comes as you go
