Scenario time:

Easier for a 30 year-old Harvard MBA MBB consultant to become a NBA player or a 30 year-old NBA player to produce world class decks?
Easier for a masterclass plumber to run a complex excel forecast or a Partner who's never done a lick of blue collar work in his / her life to replace a sump pump?
More likely to commit an ethical trade breach: consultant or stripper?

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?
