I am interested in switching to Product Management for a tech company but not ready to jump ship yet. Currently I am a Advisory Senior Associate and have the opportunity to take on a Project Manager role at my current tech client. This is not where I want to take my career but I will do it if it may increase my chances of breaking into Product in near future. Would having such on my resume/gaining this experience help? Do recruiters looks for this? Thanks in advance.

For additional insight, I’ve gained strong technical skills by building & implementing my clients software for the past 2+ years. I’m aware product/project are very different but I am wondering if a project manager role will help give me the strong leadership/business experience to add to my existing tech knowledge and eventually break into product.

Apologies for the late reply but thank you for your response! Super helpful.

Had call with the lawyers in my firm and they want to approach filing my position in I-140 to the next level (according to the course of job and levels I would be promoted in a year from current position is what they said) and that is when the petition would be filed with USCIS (~1 year from now per their timeline). Has anyone been in a similar place?
