Hello everyone, I've recently joined a FMCD company in the sales and marketing profile via my MBA college placements, however, after working in the role for a bit I've understood that it's not my cup of tea. I want some advice on how to transition into a PM role and the prerequisite skills to get shortlisted for said role. Any help is greatly appreciated!

So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
