Engineering and/or DS managers in tech, how'd you make the move to management?

Finally starting to think about career planning. Am at only 3.5yoe in marketing ML, so nothing immediate--still plenty to learn. But this feels like a good time to start thinking ahead

You are at the point when you need to think about it. It took me 10years to progress from SWE to VP. I did it by always performing at the next higher level. Look up the job description of your manager and exceed those goals.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

I will be doing someheavy recruiting for Product Managers. Having a hard time with the existing team to persuade them that the uniqorns they are looking for dont exist. They are fixated that unless someone does not know to work agile or have tech specific experience they dont want to see them. Some of the questions also they have for candidates are an imitation of big corp companies like google, facebook etc. I am a big advocate on giving chances and trying to get through to them. Any ideas?
