Any PMs here working two jobs? I work as a PM (CW at 40hrs/week) at a FAANG company. Looking to take on a part time gig or consulting work in a non competing or different industry. Has anyone done something similar?

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest good resume tips/samples/even share their resume for program manager positions at FAANG? I have been trying since some time, but unable to get through interview selection phase itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have the mental bandwidth to run two jobs I commend you. I tried this last month - working ~40 hpw as a PM and then picking up just a small gig job. As a father of a toddler, I quickly realized I was toast by the time I could dedicate energy to the side gig. All I wanted to do was relax for the 2-3 hours before going to bed.

It pained me to even consider quitting the side gig I started 2 weeks prior. I even talked to my therapist about it. Ultimately, I prioritized rest over another paycheck. I made the decision to put my energy toward growing in my primary role.

Get the bag if you can manage it. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders when I quit.

I'm currently working as a SWE and am interested in learning about the PM role and the experiences of others who switched to PM from a different role.
I enjoy customer engagement and planning/timelining work in an agile manner. These make me think I'd be a good fit for the role but I have some concerns/questions:
1. What is the pay-range compared to the average SWE pay range?
2. What skills are critical for the PM role?
3. Should I obtain Agile PM certificates?
4. Anything else I should know :)

But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.
