Like the person has commented best scenario would be to contact current employer. I am 1.5 years work ex software developer and hardly receiving any interview calls. Market is totally fucked...

Best case scenario will be checking with your employer. However you may have to start from scratch. Working with college grads.

Please enlighten us, what you don't like in the PM role, Because I came across many posts where people like to move to PM.

Precisely I feel with my experience and interest I want to pivot to a tech role.

On PM dislikes I don’t feel I dislike any of it, it has been more conformable rather than challenging

I just want to working on a wider spectrum of software world, and I have experienced PM is a very narrow role which one has to get into (wrt the previous domain, country, college etc)

if I ever feel like missing pming I can always shift to in later age, but transitioning later to tech roles might be harder.
