How to break into agile coaching? I have been working as a process analyst but I am a certified scrum master and would love to transfer my experience and knowledge to agile coaching, how can I land a job as an agile coach without the experience in the same role?

You'll have to make a few jumps typically to get to the Agile coaching level ... most likely starting with being a SM and then working your way up from there to RTE or Agile Coach depending on the type of company you work for. I have PM, SM, and years of RTE experience including leading an agile transformation across all of tech at a regional bank and still get passed over for Agile Coaching roles. Unfortunately the certificate doesn't count for much because it's 2 days and a lot of it doesn't apply perfectly to some of the more highly regulated industries (like fintech) so most of the time they appreciate the experience.

One thing that could help set you apart is to pursue the SPC SAFe cert but just be forewarned that it's about $3000.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
