It’s one of the easiest switches as you know the product and the customer. Work on launch demos and volunteer your time with a PMM team.

hey! i made the switch from sales engineering to PMM- motivations for me was tired of being tied to quota/performance of my AE and PMMs tend to be more strategic - you already have half the skill set you just need to articulate it- do some research on how to formulate GTM/ product launch strategies and make sure you can make presentations and write well
