I recently left teaching and work at KPMG as an EA. What could I go on to do as I gain experience? Having a rough time connecting the dots.

I know some EAs work their way up to being Senior EAs, Chief’s of Staff, Scrum Masters, or Project Manager’s. All great careers and being an EA gives you so many transferable skills and it pairs nicely with all of the careers above when getting certifications etc.

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'm probably crazy.
