I have about 3.5 years of software implementation consulting experience, I’m getting tired of the 9 - whenever the work is done hours and the constant pressure of utilization. I have no idea where to start, has anyone exited from implementation consulting? Any suggestions?

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?
