What are some technical industry roles that isn’t too development focused you can switch to from consulting? I like analytics but don’t want to do core data science. What are other areas?

@VP1, it can mean a lot of different things at different companies.

For many companies, PM roles are kinda like GMs for their product. You own the overall direction and vision for the product, and set the development roadmap accordingly. You spend a lot of time with your customers, understanding their needs (yes, requirements) and communicating out how your roadmap is going to meet them. You do demos. You do a lot of market research to understand your competitors. All of this feeds into your roadmap, which you also translate into a backlog of user stories that developers build off of. You work very closely with your engineering team, making sure that features are built appropriately. You’ll plan out releases and the communication that goes around them. In general, you’re responsible for the delivery of your product to your customers. At some companies, you might help support marketing and pricing discussions.

That’s a high level overview. For me personally, I spend a ton of time with my customers, understanding their requirements, and building/managing/prioritizing my backlog. Then I communicate out my plans/roadmap and ensure stakeholder alignment internally. I also do the UI/UX personally because I don’t have a designer on my team currently.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

3 years of experience as a corporate lawyer.
Expecting an offer from both Deloitte India and Capgemini.
Deloitte India - Senior Consultant
Capgemini - Associate Consultant

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?
