It's better to be in what you're good at and what you enjoy (ideally they overlap perfectly)

Seriously, someone needs to start vetting posts.

Failing that, Tech Strategy is also a discipline

Just do what you're good at and you can make money. I know HR people making $800k TC and warehouse managers making $700k TC. No one really aspires to those jobs but there is still a market for it that pays well.

All of the above

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?
