hey everyone, im a fullstack swe with 2.8 yoe looking to pivot to prodman. i really dont want to transition in my company as a pm (i recently fought for my sde 2 promotion). ill be trying for mba as well, but in the meanwhile I've also been applying to pm roles asking for 2+ yoe in "product or related roles" as they like to describe it. Ive not gotten any referreals but i apply within 24-36 hrs of the opening, am i missing something since i have gotten 0 callbacks. Any inputs or is this a completely wrong approach, all advice is appreciated! Also would love to find any mentorship from spms regarding this transition, the upcoming demands from this role, etc.

Thanks!
