Hey all--looking for career advice.

I'm trying to become a Scrum Master or a Project Manager and am currently a "Technical Support Analyst I," which in my case means that I do a combination of Manual QA Release Testing and ticket queue work. However, I've been leading daily Stand Up and I help track the status and progress of various items the Development team is working on. I have had my current position for 2.5 years--I had one job before this, also in tech support, that lasted 1 year. So, in total, about 3.5 years of experience.

I have a Scrum Master certification (Certified Scrum Master) from Scrum Alliance. Now what? Am I ready to apply for jobs, and if so, WHICH jobs? Do I apply for Scrum Master/Project Management roles, or should I be applying to something else as a stepping stone to get there? Do people even hire Scrum Masters anymore? If not, should I be focusing on Project Management instead, and if so, how do I pivot to Project Management?

If it helps, I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

Please boost! I have no idea what I'm doing. All I know is that I'm trying to make enough money to survive and we're just not there yet.

Endlich mal ein guter Artikel über #Scrum (oder nicht Scrum) bei #heise

"Dann stelle ich klar, dass ich es wirklich verstanden habe. Ich schwenke die weiße Fahne. Ich ergebe mich. "Okay, okay. Ihr macht nicht Scrum by the book." Und dann kommt der Pfeil, lautlos und unsichtbar: "Was macht Ihr denn?", frage ich. Leichte Verwirrung macht sich breit."
