How TF does someone become a product manager at a MAANG company at 23 when every PM job posting out there requires 5+ years of experience???? Genuine question

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field.

I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
