Totally apply, great program. Not sure how many consultants became PMs but I’d say 20-30% of the class became PMs

Yup. I went there. Part of first class

Don’t have first hand experience but I’m applying to this program as well. During discussions with students and admissions I’ve heard it’s not atypical to see tech consultants shift to true product mgmt roles

How long do you think one shld stay in the tech consulting sphere before making a transition? When is too early and when is too late?🙂
