I am looking for my next role but I am having a hard time landing interviews. I want to get out of consulting into a Product/Program Manager Role. All my projects in consulting have been in Program/Project management. I was hired at a much lower level than I deserved (pandemic hire desperate for a job so did not negotiate) and this is in the top 2 reasons I’m looking for another role. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

If you have experience in project /program manager, then you should not have troubles getting a program manager role. Make sure your resume speaks of your experience. Landing interviews is mostly correlated to your resume if you're applying cold without referrals

Thank you!

Should you obscure your name?

Too late now but thank you.

Product and program mgmt have different skillsets. May want to decide on path you’d like to pursue

I was targeting roles at MSFT and these two are interchangeable. Product Management is the path I want to pursue

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
