Without any prior product management experience.

    Yes. Even without the Product Manager title, surely in your prior roles you've helped shape products. I'd index the resume and discussion on that aspect, covering your contributions to functional and non-functional requirements, assessing impact on customers and business, prioritization and tradeoffs, solution design, roadmap planning, feature planning, delivery and post launch monitoring/adjustments.

    Practically it’s very hard. You will be competing with folks who have prior pm experience. You will need a strong referral IMO.

    OP
    Any list of companies which are open to hiring software engineers for product management roles? Not an internal transfer.
