How important is it to actually have the number of years of work ex in PM job postings? Most Sr PM roles look for 5. I will have 3.5 yrs PM + 7 yrs of consulting when I apply next year. I manage my own vertical, handle Engg, Jira, PMM, Webinars, everything.

Should I wait another year to be at 4.5 before applying? Don't want a lateral move, only promo & cash.
Happy where I am currently, though underpaid and overworked, it's still good work exp with good team, a good manager & complex product.

What do you have to lose by applying and finding out? Take a shot

That was gonna be my comment - you won't know until you put yourself out there

Take a shot. I’ve been hit up with 8+ PM opportunities in the last 2 weeks. The market is hot 🥵

Really no harm in applying and seeing what happens. Can't know what's out there until you go for it

You may be able to use some of your consulting experience to back up your PM experience. It can't hurt to try.

Current compensation?
