Anyone else feel like they got into PM too early?

So I started PMing a year back, 25y atm. Joined as APM right out of college. Sometimes I feel I should've done some adjacent role which would could've helped me in understanding how the industry works. Most of the times I work on feature mindlessly.

Many times lead engineers directly come to me for ticket requirements, all though i can deal with them, from time to time i feel like an imposter.

I'm in the same boat. Currently working as a PM at a startup where I joined as an APM right out of College. Got promoted within a year.
I feel like I could improve by having someone senior in the team to mentor me but I'm the only one working in the Product team from the past 2 years.

I believe 3 YOE in product analytics or dev is ideal to get into an APM role.

It's not gonna change anytime soon.

Imo the only way to learn is to ship. The more you shop, the more you learn

Same trajectory as you, but now after 1 year I'm confident in myself
