Side note: Why do you want to be a PM?

Strap in. It’s hyper competitive at the moment. I’d recommend joining a company with growth into a PM position. Perfect your interviewing skills above all else. Practice, mock and build confidence. Confidence is key if they are going to put you in a PM role.

Way above certifications is build something to demonstrate the skills you will need for the role, like an app. Use that side project as a product. Demonstrate strategy, stakeholder management, working in cross-functional teams, prioritisation, metrics, analysis, data etc.

Alternatively find a PM at your current place and ask what you can do to help them. Take on tasks that show your future employer you are capable.

Finally, prepare yourself that it could take a while to land your first PM role, months, and accept that.

Any advice?
