I always said 2 years. Then after I made 2, I said 3 probably sounded better. That was over a decade ago.

Im definitely committed to making manager, but after that, taking it year by year. Im in faas, so it’s more bearable than being in audit. Im making over 6 figs in LCOL at 26; work on avg 45 hrs a week. I can’t complain much

Hello folks,
Need some advice.

I am an Associate Project Manager with 1 yr of experience in Geospatial Industry. I'm looking for a switch and I am currently on my notice period.

I am finding it hard get interview calls as I have observed the experience needed for this role is more.

How should I proceed with such less experience as I'm not willing to continue in current company??

I am not actively applying to IT sector as I come from a non-technical background.

Appreciate your response!
