Posting here to get some perspective. So I have been working as a PM in this startup in Bangalore for the last 2 years. Recently the top management has asked me to move to Mumbai, the deadline of which is next month.
Moving to a different city will be problematic for me for now. So, I had started looking for a PM job and started applying from January end. To my surprise, I haven't got a single call from any company.
Is the job market for PM that bad? How long does it take to land a job?

Yes, the market isn't in a good time. Along with that the offers are on low end due to immense folks jumping on to PM roles.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
