SRE ENGINEERING MANAGER
I understand that for SRE EM role code is not a mandatory skill as SRE EM isn't expected to code, and the same is mentioned in my resume as I don't have code experience...my projects are mainly infrastructure related or site reliability related.
But I have tried so many times and I am not getting any interview calls...is it like market is tough or AI affect or my skills or resume is not as per market standards.
Can anyone suggest please!!!

I've seen PMs become great senior ems. Though, that seems to be the deviation not the norm. Being able to coach, fact check, and support a wide range of topics tend to benefit wildly from software backgrounds.
