What does it take to enter into a PM role from an analyst level role at a consulting firm? Are other roles in big tech more lucrative or popular from a consulting background standpoint? What level of coding knowledge is required for these roles?

I entered into a PM role at a software firm straight out of undergrad. They hired from all different career shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. I’m pretty confident that it’s not a tough pivot but if someone else has done it, they’d have more credibility.

I think OP is talking about product management

I need some career advice. I finished my master's degree in international law (B.A.Sc international relations) but I am not sure where to go from here. I always wanted to join a big firm and I've applied to different vacancies in international firms/companies but got rejected from all of them.
Does anyone have any tips on certain job positions or companies where an LLM would prove to be useful with my background?
I'm starting to feel quite stuck in this situation and it's very demoralising.

This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.
