Transitioning from Software Engineering to Product Management
Is an MBA necessary for this? What if one tries to get some experience internally? Is there a difference in what Product Managers do in tech companies vs. Consulting companies like McKinsey etc?
No, MBA isn’t necessary. Internal movement to product should be easy and help learn the rules faster.
In tech companies, they get end-to-end visibility and ownership, whereas in consulting its more like an isolated block which they don’t have understanding/skills/head count to build.

Is one or the other necessarily better? Like pm at a big tech or tech focuses startup vs pm at consulting firms? What about pay?
