Removing points from this job sacrilegious. If I stayed at a corporate apartment it would basically be taking away 10-20k dollars worth of vacation redemptions. I stay at some shit hotels in order to get more points so I can treat my SO to lavish vacations around the world. Honestly, this would be a deal breaker and I think my leadership knows it.

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?
