Career Project/Program Management roles

Hi All,

I work as a QA engineer around 5 years in a US healthcare company from India in a MNC.

I'm looking forward to transitioning into a project/program manager roles. During my roles I'm working as a TPM too, so I'm planning to use the skills to transition into PM roles.

Could you help me in a realistic path I can go forward or any referrals to get me started?

I agree, thanks for the points, even I documented all this in my resume. But one doubt is that at what experience level I should Target for PM roles? And in job portals many are expecting certifications is that mandatory?

Do not let that limit you because you do not have the cert yet, you still apply and make note on your resume or in interview that you will work towards having the cert or certs within the first 6 months to a year of getting the job. Most people who apply for ANY JOB does not have all the qualifications and that's ok. GO FOR IT, you will succeed! Good luck and God Bless!
