Need help reg. switching career to Product Management please. Currently Sr. Platform Engineer with nearly a decade of work xp across different tech roles. I work in Insurance but my role is domain agnostic so never cared to develop any domain knowledge. Open to any suggestion that help me steer in direction. Thanks in advance!

(I’m interested in PM because I enjoy marketing, strategising, UX, Data Analytics which I learnt from my other personal mini projects and I find PM at the cross roads)

In your current company you can ask if you can take up some of the PM's tasks. They would give you good exposure.
