Try changing your title to “product manager”
More time. 1.5 years is not something that's going to jump out at them.
Watch what happens at year 3 though. An explosion of recruiters!!!
View job postings and click the apply button (you don’t actually have to), view recruiter profiles, view companies you’re interested in, change the sentences and key words on your profile description from time to time. Also, complete your profile as best as possible.
LinkedIn is just like all other social media. If it thinks you’re likely to be interested in a new job, it’ll present your profile to recruiters. If you get a message from a recruiter, respond and use affirming language in your response back (“yes, I’m definitely interested”). Actually schedule and take the call. LinkedIn will take note and see that you’re interested in a new job. Good luck!
Get some certifications. It'll be non stop after that
I updated my skills and that seemed to help. I’m at 2 YOE
Make sure you have a great *professional* headshot. Check out Snappr Photo Analyser (free) which uses the latest research combined with machine learning, to determine how well your photo will perform:

Also, create an eye-catching headline. Your headline is positioned right below your name on your LinkedIn profile and will be the first thing profile visitors read. The default settings will fill this in with your current position and that's okay for starters — but it can be whatever you want. You have 120 characters to work with, so write something that pops. Think of it as a small billboard. Instead of just listing your job title, mention your specialty and how you benefit your company or customers. Don't forget to keep your target audience in mind. If you are speaking to recruiters/headhunters, write for that target audience.
Post regularly. LinkedIn uses algorithms to choose who shows up. The algorithm will reward the regular poster, and not the person who logs on once every 2 years. Log in daily, and if you’re job hunting, post daily. Comment meaningfully on other people’s posts. Share interesting, relevant content about your field. The blogging feature is probably the most underused LinkedIn tool – if you can write, it’s a great way to stand out.
I think there is a lull right now. This month I haven’t had one person reach out about an opportunity. And I imagine Aug will be the same, since everyone is going on PTO before the end of the summer
