Depends if product management for tech or for a bank

Ehh I see this both ways.

Key products at a tech firm have 100s of product managers. For some it can be frustrating when you own like 1% of the overall product experience.

probably better to have that role/title on your resume and try it out and see if you like it. consulting will always be here…

Product management where? If FAANG or similar (Salesforce, Uber, Microsoft...), pick PM. That's the holy grail role that consultants dream about. But if it is product management outside of major tech, like CPG, then maybe consulting is better.

And what kind of consulting, where? MBB generalist vs SAP implementation at big 4 is very different.

Recently, i was "promoted" or, I should say, my title was changed to the next ring up the ladder. As a part of this, I went from reporting to Senior Management, to Junior Management. The Jr. Manager has good intentions, but, is not helpful. I've worked at the company longer, have accomplished more across multiple lines of business and have a much stronger internal network. Am I overreacting thinking this is a major slight that will ultimately slow down my growth within the company?

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
