Hi all, I've been working in PM for nearing 10 years. I've worked myself up the ladder to senior PM, I feel I've done all I can within the company and really have itchy feet and want to move into a new industry within the UK.
I'm good with a mix of HW & SW, any suggestions from the cool folks on here on some forward thinking awesome manufacturing/tech companies who deal with both HW & SW?

IKR!! But honestly, you can't play with the algorithms. I guess you'll need to do your part by doing further research to the recruiters or company and start from there instead of depending on LinkedIn to do it for you (even though that's what you paid them for!).

Very true, looking on all job boards but most are SW only, no mix. It's difficult as the bias is on specific backgrounds not generalists with commercial bias.
HW lends itself very well to this, but the volume of companies is low (at least on my research level).

Don't have majorly good suggestions, but I do agree it would be good to at least boomerang. Hope there are some other cool folks on here who will help you out

Have you thought about hiring a headhunter or career coach? I think it would be worth the investment since you are pretty advanced in your career. You can look for ones in the UK on LinkedIn

Would love to be able to pick out something nice I've seen, schedule the shipment to arrive on a certain specific day out in the future (weeks or months ahead) and be done. This works for gifts, and also for certain purchases that you need occasionally but don't fall into the subscribe at regular intervals option currently listed.
