I’m rapidly coming to a crossroads and having a hard time evaluating what I want next. I’m leaving consulting no matter what but my opps are wildly different and perspectives are appreciated.

1: go client side - super known and safe and good, but continues status quo
2: go baby start up - been helping out a small group who has some traction on funding, could be ready to go legit
3: try a 3rd party - my industry is hot right now, I’m talking with Salesforce and a few other big players

Hey guys. I used to do IB but I just left. I just recently started this new role at a tech company a few weeks ago and I got a message on LinkedIn about another opportunity that I think is a million times better. I spoke to the recruiter a few days ago and she knows I left IB but I didn’t tell her I started a new role. She asked if I have offers on the table and I said I have one offer but never mentioned my new role. What should I do?

Hey y’all - seeking guidance please to pivot from Web 2.0 to Web3. 8 YOE in startups, agencies and big tech in client services, programme management and partnerships. I am proactively doing reach outs and self-directed learning to build my knowledge base. However, all Web3 companies seem to want prior crypto and blockchain experience and personally, as a female, I’ve found this space a bit “bro-ish” and daunting to enter, especially when not an engineer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Hey guys! I am new here and I'm unable to DM folks here. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

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?
