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

Well it totally depends on your interests and skill set. I have see people moving to Product based roles from your current role however considering your domain and interest i would suggest that pure play strategy firms will be the best pick for you. The market is running hot at the moment, keep trying.
