Looking for thoughts.

I have 13 years of experience as a Business Analyst at various capacities (Regulatory, Data Verticals) in Banking with Bachelors degree in Accounting & Semi Qualified management accountant

Alongside I have got certifications in Cloud & Visualization tools.

Now I want to move completely to the Analytics/ML side. Will the companies consider my BA experience in Data & Regulatory experiences?

I’m interested in becoming a product manager but I don’t think I have the right background. My background is in enablement/product training/L&D. I don’t have a technical background.

Are there any certification type programs that could boost my credentials and employers would actually care about? Or is this transition a pipe dream?

How bad does it look to quit without anything lined up? My goal would be to build skills I need to learn in order to pivot to an industry I’m more interested in and to build up my resume. Just wondering if not being employed will kill my employability
