I’d like to eventually switch to a product management role, preferably at a big tech company. Would it be better to align myself into EY’s digital or strategy practice?

Just get on an agile development project. You get experience working with engineers, designers, clients. You get experience prioritizing backlogs, making quick decisions and thinking about the customer. Many people from DD move to product management. Lots did some work on software implementation projects. Getting technical can only help you in product management. Just stay away from implementing stuff like salesforce/peoplesoft/sap

EY Digital has a Product Management pillar, specific trainings and product management roles at major clients. PI Strategy does not. It's pretty simple.

@EY 1 could you elaborate on why digital?

You do more work that is related to product management

It appears EY’s digital group is very focused on software implementation and I am wondering if this will limit opportunities as there is not a strategic aspect to it

Is that in FSO, national practice, or both?
