I've been working as a scrum master/ agile coach for the last 4 years and I can't seem to find a position for a PM/PO for lack of experience that's usually the reason I'm given, but I was coaching teams to become Product owners, I teach product management at university and I even made a portfolio of products I launched over the years, I'm only applying to one City in north France. I feel like a loser :( it got me thinking did I chose the wrong path for my career by becoming a scrum master.

You are not a loser - you just may need to cast a wider net. Also, I would strongly recommend working with a professional resume writer. That can make all the difference in the world. Don't give up. Sounds like you've got some great experience. You'll find the right fit soon enough.

You are DEFINITELY not a loser. I think people just take different paths, and it doesn't mean you took the wrong one. I agree with PO1, think about how your past interviews and current resume. Maybe you just aren't selling yourself well, or speaking to the experience you have in training etc. They want to see hands on examples, so think of concrete ways you can connect your current experience to the role. I journaled around the questions they asked that I felt I messed up when I was interviewing, and what I would've said instead. It helped sort out my thoughts after each interview and made the next one go better.

I was put into PIP in my first company. I believed my manager said that it's only for improvement. I signed it. Later realized it's a termination plan. So I quit the company. But after 5 years I got a call from my First company HR for another role, I was happy to take that opportunity. But later HR called me and said they couldn't proceed for some reason. Am I black listed because of PIP? Please share your insights.
