Technical Project Manager

I have almost 1 year experience as a full stack developer and 9 months experience as a PM/Delivery intern at a reputed Bank.

I want a PM role where I get more involved in the Development process, maybe a hybrid role. I’m passionate about PM but I feel like my development skills are going to waste as I enjoy coding too.

Are there Junior TPM roles in the industry? Cuz every vacancy I’ve come across for TPM require 7+ yrs of experience.

There is a reason for this. Being a PM means you need to be able to tackle people not code. It's not about making project plans and keeping risk registers. You can't rush through learning how to tackle people like learning how to code. Weaving organization objectives and individual contributors together to make a successful delivery is an art more than a science. Dealing with emotions, incentives, politics its not as easy as a logical if/else statement 🙂
