Discuss this with your manager and explicitly show your interest on that. Ask what boxes you need to check to get that promotion

I agree. You have to be proactive yourself

Usually the strongest signal is already doing parts of the job. Mentoring junior PMs, owning cross-team initiatives, running planning processes, or representing the team with leadership. When hiring managers see that you’re already operating that way informally, the title change feels like a natural step.

Agree with everything said, start taking on whatever you can that would fall under a manager's role. Look at the higher-level projects and share insight or strategy there.

Have you talked to your boss about how to showcase that? I would definitely suggest it. Sometimes a sit down with your boss can make a huge difference when you are looking to be promoted.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Anyone up for going through my resume?
Help will be so much appreciated :)

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time.
