    I’m 40 years old and looking for entry-level jobs. I got AWS and project management certs.

    Entry level job pipelines got eviscerated with automation and AI. I have high end versions of the kind of work you’re going for, but the pathway for how to got here is gone. Even our mid-tier skill folks are having more difficulty, but usually finding work. High tier skill level is still doing well and expanding, but I’m under no illusion this will last forever. It will come for my job too eventually, and I’m prepared for it now.

    The future of IT careers is going to look very strange.

        If you have PMP certs you’ve usually got 3 years of PM experience already. Are you saying even with all your certs and experience, you’re still looking for entry level just to land a PM job?
