Really confused with choosing careers-
Product management as next step or Remain in Strategy Consulting of an IT organisation and switch to pureplay strategy firms?

Could anybody please guide what factors would you deliberate on and what kind of personality would suit for these roles?
I come from Research, Financial analysis background and recently moved into Consulting. I love deliberating on macro solutioning and solving business problems. My current skillsets are more aligned to Financerole

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 have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice
