That said do what you can to get ready for the right opportunity. Do the courses and get the qualifications so if a spot at your client opens up you armed and ready. Clients will not provide you a training/learning platform from scratch.
thank you!

Would like some advice on how to switch from a managed services/infrastructure (telephony/wan/lan/dc/windows/service transition/UC) PM to becoming a digital PM on websites.
I am thinking from a qualification POV, Agile Practioner (attained), and then scrum master.
Is it a case of going permie as a junior for a year?
2) Apply for the lower range of the salary range as you won't be competing with the best talent for the role (either contract or perm)
3) Deliver some successful projects, you will have to work extra hard to cover your knowledge gap the first six months
4) Congratulations your now a digital PM
