I'm a 'Consultant' who's worked as a Product Owner / Agile team lead throughout my career (3yrs) . This does involve client facing day to day activity . But I'm wondering where my career is going? Are delivery/POs really consultants? And is being a PO the right path to product manager, if I wanted to go to tech?

It’s a very good path to make a progress in product management space. Companies are changing their model to be more product centric and hence they would need these crucial product roles. Enterprise agility should be your career goal if you like this space

Product Owner is natural path to Product Management. I recommend earning agile certifications to boost your knowledge and expand your network. You'll learn a lot about potential career paths this way as well.

Thoughts on CAIA? Difficulty, hours studied, study tips, overall experiences, etc.? I’ll be sitting for Level 1 in September. Currently work in the fund of funds space - moving over to my firm’s hedge fund research team soon so CAIA seemed like a perfect way to get knowledge in the area beforehand. I’m almost one year out of undergrad (econ background) so a lot of the CAIA content is new to me
