Um a lot more than SDLC implementation. Do you have experience performing market assessments and defining product requirements? What is your masters in? PM’s are generally MBA’s.

You don’t need an mba (on LinkedIn, many do not have one). Other key skills - user research, market research, business case development, working with design, working with data and analytics teams to make product decisions
