What are the chances of going from Accenture management consulting to PE? In 3rd round of interviews for an operations role in a small to mid market PE firm, and would love to know if I have much of a chance. PE firm focuses on enterprise software, so ACN knowledge is at least relevant here.

Once you are in the interviews its game on, where u come from is less important than how you perform in the interviews, especially if you are in the third round. I wouldnt waste my time interviewing someone 3 times if i thought they dont stand a chance.

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced.

Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old
