My two cents:
- In companies like Flipkart/Swiggy/MakeMyTrip etc, after Director/VP level in product management, since there's no logical next level, I've seen people transition to business roles.
- In companies like Google/Salesforce (companies selling software), product roles carry big weight and people usually stick to the PM ladder.
Management consulting is a very different career trajectory and usually people comeback and join leadership positions in their practice domain.
People usually do consulting-> product but if you want to go it's also a good career option but only gor for mbb or some tier 2 consulting companies
Sure, absolutely! And does the Management Consultant designation make sense? Or should it be Manager?
Management in the sense is same pm ladder path right ? look you are a spm today but if you start at a consulting firm today you will have to start as a consultant, I don't think any good consulting firms will directly make you principal although I am not sure about that
