Is it possible to switch from Consultant to PM without work experience or MBA?

Advice needed!! Have 8+ years of compliance/legal/in house experience (not privacy law except HIPAA). I really want a Privacy Counsel role so I took and passed the CIPP/US and CIPM exams this past year. I’ve been offered an Associate Director job at PwC. Is this a good stepping stone to a Privacy Counsel role? How long should I expect to work at PwC before I could apply to Privacy Counsel roles??

So I just started a new job in sales (B2B specifically). All my life I’ve been in blue collar jobs, military, then construction work ect.

I guess what I’m looking for is just tips on how you guys were successful walking into a whole new arena if that makes sense?
