I have a superday for Business Analyst role at McKinsey. I need to make a decision today whether I would like to pursue the Strategy and Corporate Finance function or enter as a generalist consultant.
Does anyone have any recommendations/experience? Are you able to pivot to another function? What are some of the exit opportunities for the Strategy and corporate finance function?

Generalist. Easier to switch to SCF later, harder to do it the other way around

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
