All, I am majored in information systems and hold a PMP certification . Ive been a (engineering) project coordinator for a few years, but would like to transition to a new role. Any advice on what roles I should pursue? PM seems like the obvious choice, but I am having a hard time bridging the gap. Anecdotally, I only see senior engineers/sme become PM.

TIA!!
