Try to latch on to any customer/commercial opportunities you can at your firm... I have found it to be difficult to advance career in consulting while simultaneously advancing placement in industry marketing/sales... But you can at least get your foot in the door

Strong interest in product management but I feel like my finance background won’t mesh too well with what product managers do...thoughts?

Why does everyone in m&a want to do product and vice versa

For me, I’m in excel busting out model after model - it gets repetitive. I want to “own” something rather than “rinse and repeat” for deal after deal after deal...
