I am working as team lead but want to make a job switch as project manager. But, companies are asking for prior project management experience. I just passed pmp but job search is not working for me.
What to do?

If I'm being honest I would suggest you to stay on the TL position for quite some time, most of the company has started Valuing individual contributors gradually you will transition into a PM or an Engineering Manager.

But if you still plan to switch try looking for opportunities in mid size companies instead of start ups or MNC your chance of getting a job in this scenario is high.

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).
