To what I’ve seen they are like delivery/project manager - but please correct me if I’m wrong

From what I’ve seen usually cases that involve building digital products from scratch or helping with growth/user acquisition or optimization for existing products.

We have some real product management roles for tools and solutions. Not part of that team but work with them and it seems quite similar to other product roles. Just a bit constrained because you’re in a consulting firm so you can’t take the product wherever you want it. There are rules and stuff.

https://www.mckinsey.com/solutions gives an overview. Several are saas and have product teams.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

Why are people obsessed with comparing MBB? Do investment bankers or lawyers do the same? It’s kinda pathetic
