Stumbled on it really. My org at the time was offering free masters programs, Project Management being one of the tracks and I fell in love with it. Started incorporating the methodologies into my role and reached the top of my position which led me to an another org's PMO. Eventually became certified and now interviewing with FAANG companies.

Not sure that helps but I found a backdoor to tech with a niche in training and certification.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.
