Any advice for an SC hoping to exit from tech strategy consulting to a Product Manager role? A lot of companies refuse to hire folks without prior PM experience so where can one get a foot in the door? Are there other tangential industry roles where I can build relevant skills that will make me a good PM? Any insight/ advice is much appreciated!

How many YOE? As far as I know, Facebook’s RPM program is the best way to break into PM without prior experience, but they mainly look for 0-3 YOE.
