I’m interested in becoming a product manager one day. I’ve been contacted about applying to a growth marketing role at a tech company. Do you all think that this would be a path that could increase my chances of eventually becoming a product manager? Or am I better off continuing on as a consultant? Please note I’m new to learning about product management.

It could, but not as much as being involved in the core product operations of a company or directly applying to be a product manager.
