Is there a product management or more creative kind of role in the consulting world? Where I feel a sense of the product being my own hard worked upon baby, and not just work like a clients bitch?

I'm currently interviewing for Product Management jobs. It's not easy to get an interview without prior experience. Companies want you to mess up on someone else's product before giving you the keys to theirs. Best way to be considered for roles like that is to build something. It's okay if it fails, but show them that you understand all the complexities of building something. Whenever I was not traveling, I would fix cracked iPhone screens for people - not really even a business. I was just doing it to make some easy money, but I finally put that on my resume and I've finally been getting call backs. In my first interview we spoke for 20 minutes about what I learned from it.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
