Consultant

Hey there!

So, I have a friend who's currently an Associate Project Manager at an MNC. 
He's been doing the technical thing for 1.10 years and recently moved into the APM role. (YOE:2.5ish)

The thing is, while the pay and work-life balance are good, he's not feeling all that jazzed about his work and wants to level up his career. 

He's got his sights set on a Consultant/Product Manager gig and wants our help to make it happen!

Here are a few questions we have, and we'd love to hear your thoughts:

1.Would it be worth it for him to go for an MBA, particularly at ISB, to snag that Consultant/Product Manager role?
2.Are there other ways he could make the transition without having to go back to school?
3.How do Project Manager salaries and work stack up against those of Product Managers?

Any insights or tips you could share would be much appreciated. 
Let's help this dude rock his career!
