Hi fishes, I’m currently a PM more focusing on the business side/ digital transformation. I want to be a PM (with more technical skills) in the future for a Tech company. So, I started taking an online course : intro to computer science. Is this a right approach? Anything else that you recommend me to try/ do/ learn so that I can achieve my goal? Thank you!!

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
