Realize that the vast majority of places that say they are running Agile / Scrum are really running hybrid. It's incredibly rare to find a fully true Agile shop. So be prepared to be flexible and still utilize your regular PM skills, and focus on what the project or the team needs are first. Good luck!

I've been a project manager for the last 14 years, 4 of which were as a dedicated Scrum Master to multiple teams. The vast majority of my career has been in IT so both infrastructure (waterfall) and SDLC (agile) type teams, including hybrid. IT supports everything so I've been in a few industries supporting it (Healthcare, construction management and products, insurance). I hope this helps! Feel free to ping if you have any other specific questions :)
