Hi!

at least at McKinsey Product Owners are actively searched for these day. Agile is the new black, so it would be a definitely a right move from the MBB perspective.

Hello,

Any leadership experience, especially in the strategy field, is valuable for consulting companies.

Anyway, if your aim is to join strategic consultancy, I would not spend many years in the industry but I would try to prepare for the change asap, starting studying and building your own network.

Hi,
I think a managerial position is important for MBB application. However, if your goal is MBB I would start to structure a plan to apply asap and in an efficient way (e.g. by getting a referral).

Hi,

First of all, let's distinguish between a product manager (tech product role) and product owner (Product P&L ownership) roles. I guess you are talking about the product owner

Secondly - for your growth within the company Product ownership looks much more interesting than a strategy role, because you are working on the "Real things" and not just slides

Thirdly - from MBB perspective both roles are good and equal if you manage to sell your experience correctly
