I am a PO/ PM, and I have been applying for PM roles for sometime now. Not doing both again and I think I want a PM role now. Lack deep budget experience.
I have not received a single call back. How did you find your current PM role?
Should do something more than just identifying roles on LinkedIn, making appropriate resume changes before submitting, connecting with recruiters, etc.
I am hitting a wall here. The "one" thing the PM has to do is identify the problem. I do not know what it is!!

I’ve heard LinkedIn isn’t the most successful way to apply. Maybe try finding the role directly on the employers careers page and applying directly. Sorry not exactly valuable advice!

Apply apply apply. Apply everywhere and everything. You can be picky when you get offers. It took me 6months and 250+ applications to land my new role. Keep applying, make that your daily routine.
