Have you successfully transitioned into another title? If so, how? Feel like I’m only considered if a role is 1:1 with my experience; but I’m always meeting white folks who talked their way in

I actually transitioned from QA (contract) to being a PM pretty successfully — which is like night and day. A PM knew of my experience as a project coordinator and mentioned my name when they were looking for a PM role to fill. My VP asked me if I was interested and I said yes and eventually I became a full time PM. I let my work speak for itself and now they’re having me work on the automotive account (though current circumstances allowed that to happen). I would say a lot of the factors of me being able to transition from QA to PM was making my desires known to the right influential people, timing, and a lot of luck

It also depends on how you tweak your resumé to fit in the key words that they are looking for... most people will see 1:1, have to change it up if you are going to transition.

If you want to transfer within the same company, talk to the managers in that department.

There is a bit of white privilege for sure.

2. The guilt of leaving a role where I have an amazing working relationship with all my colleagues and my boss

Any tips would be appreciated as I am a mess of nerves!!
