I’m trying to build a diversified portfolio but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice. How do you personally decide which sectors or stocks are a “must have” versus “nice to have” each year?

I used to get paralyzed by all the options, but now I lean on a core-satellite strategy: I stick with broad sector ETFs for most of my money (like VOO, QQQ, or sector SPDRs), then reserve about 20% for individual stocks I have high conviction in. Once a year, I check what’s over- or underweight. I listen to a couple of preferred finance podcasts in January to get a sense of where smart money is moving, but I always check that their advice fits my risk tolerance and time frame first.

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?
