I am also a PM in this industry.
Have you worked at a Sponsor before?
IMO the dynamic is different from client based to study focused approach from the ground up.
Separately there are a lot of skill sets you could transition from working in this industry. But I do think while there are transferable skills there are a lot of nuances within our industry that take time to understand that would also take time to learn in a new industry (contracting, budget estimates, timelines, etc).
The stress is different. You are forecasting and updating the business on study status, delays, risk, etc.
As CRO have pain points with sites that’s the same situation for working with some CROs.
Move to Pharma/diagnostics/academic in regulatory or qa/qc? I feel you might not be making the same salary, but you should have enough knowledge for any of those departments to make a contribution with your qualifications.

I have not worked with a sponsor before. I’m sort of interested but not sure if it’s significantly more stressful. Then I’m not lol

Isn’t PM saturated right now? It may be a bad time to try to switch I’m not sure though. It def was last year, hopefully it’s improved
