Need advice please: Have you ever applied to a role on LinkedIn or ZipRecruiter, see that your application gets downloaded, or even get a “thumbs up” on ZipRecruiter, and then they don’t reach out to you for so much as a 10 minute phone screen? Is there anything I can do to get them to respond to me? I’ve tried reaching out to the hiring managers, job posters etc. and no luck! 😞

How important is it to actually have the number of years of work ex in PM job postings? Most Sr PM roles look for 5. I will have 3.5 yrs PM + 7 yrs of consulting when I apply next year. I manage my own vertical, handle Engg, Jira, PMM, Webinars, everything.

Should I wait another year to be at 4.5 before applying? Don't want a lateral move, only promo & cash.
Happy where I am currently, though underpaid and overworked, it's still good work exp with good team, a good manager & complex product.
