How hard is it to break into product management as a consultant? Received an offer from amex, but don’t love the product/scope of work

Should I just take it for 1 year of experience?

Depends on your goals. Breaking into PM as a pure consultant without any other experience is pretty challenging, so any PM experience is helpful, though PM at AMEX isn’t likely to translate tons at FAANG

I have some digital experience and some projects related to product, but haven’t been a pure PM before. How is the PM work at Amex different than FAANG? Would you say this is across financial services (Capital one, Goldman Sachs, etc) vs FAANG

Amex has good wlb. Which part of the org?
