That's an interesting ask. Have you talked to the leaders at your current org? IMO that's a better way to switchover to PM role.

Market is flooded with experienced PMs right now so finding a role based on your current background might be a challenge.

Here is what i suggest:
1. Talk to Product Managers you know well
2. Sign up for few online conferences for Product Managers. Most of them are free.
3. Find a mentor via linkedin so you can fast track your learning
4. Get an exec MBA

You can apply for roles after step 3.

Good luck.

Thank you

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
