Great read as always, but in my experience apart from the companies that are okay training PM's, what "may" be a requirement is always the first thing that PM interviewers try to shortlist out of.
I have always wondered how stand out in jobs like those.
Especially, for someone like me who is in the B2B space, moving into a B2C space has proved almost impossible even with 5 years of PM experience.
I am an AI/ML engineer with expertise in computer vision for 5 years now. I do identify with the qualities you have mentioned on the list, however- from what I have seen online- most of the PM jobs require at least "x" years of PM experience. It's very rare (or almost impossible) to find a job that is for entry-level PMs. Hence, I find making the transition into that role very difficult. I know the best bet is to get a parallel transition into the PM track at my company itself but sadly there are no vacancies here. Moreover considering my company is heavily B2B, I would also be psyched if I get this opportunity at a B2C company. Curious to know what are your thoughts on having entry-level PM jobs and what a person like me could do in order to make the transition.
