I had interviewed with McK for their product management profile. They want the person to work for multiple companies and do pm stuff - requirement gathering, stakeholder management, define roadmap, collaborate with developers, oversee gym etc.

Their customers are the traditional cos who now want to go digital. So they need PMs.

It's 80% travel oriented job, so i said no.
