Switch from consulting to product marketing

I am currently working as a management consultant with a top firm (MBB, Kearney, Strat&, OW equivalent). I'm considering switch to PMM roles. On paper, both PMM and management consulting have some overlap in required skillsets (strong communication, problem solving, stakeholder and project management) but it is still not a popular MBB exit for consultants. Want to understand what's the industry expectation wrt PMM roles and if management consulting experiencd will be valued. Any further insights from PMM or product/ growth folks will be highly appreciated. TIA.

Sure, I started off in consulting too and then soon was offered a PMM role. The attributes you mentioned are very true although in addition I would say with Positioning and GTM strategy you will also own the complete execution and metrics for marketing your product

PM Vs Consultant

Hi folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day! I'm in a dilemma and need your expertise! I'm a senior consultant(mix of business analyst and consultant) at a mid size organization with 3 YOE, 16 LPA from tier 1 college. From my understanding I'm entering a stage where i can still pivot to product management, as later on it will be pretty hard! So my question to you all is that is it worth it to change career or should i climb ladder in consultancy. I don't really have any passion, my main focus points are money and job security. What do you think i should do?, what pays more?, which field has more future opportunities? Please advice. Ciao

What's the difference between a product manager, implementation consultant, product success mgr and product consultant?

What exactly is this. Every pm role I see seems more like a success role to me (in the b2b industry) for non tech early careers. No actual identification of opportunities to build. Ppl in this field do help me out!
