Years of relevant experience, mostly. Negotiate by presenting evidence for your value to the company. Can you make them a million bucks? Then you're probably worth a few hundred thousand.

Otherwise, competing offers demonstrate your value.

Experience leading hard stuff is what leads to better interview results.

YOE + interview performance determine leveling.
I just asked for more during negotiation, without a competing offer. Some may ask for evidence but my recruiter did not.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM
