Switching Industries as a Project Manager, Need Advice

Hey everyone, I’m currently working as a project manager in the construction sector and thinking of switching industries. While my current role is fine, I feel I might be happier exploring something different, maybe in tech, operations, or even consulting. I’ve been in this field for 7 years, but my entry was more about convenience, joined through a family connection after graduation. Now, I want to explore roles that align more with my long-term goals, like moving into leadership. Have any of you made a similar switch? How did you identify transferable skills and break into a new industry? Would love to hear your thoughts or advice!
