Hello everyone, I work with GM as Production Group Leader/ Production Supervisor. I am looking to switch. I have masters in manufacturing engineering. With my profile which roles I should be aiming at ?

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?
