Consider reaching out to startups or non-profit organizations seeking PM assistance. Joining online communities like product management forums or discord font LinkedIn groups can also offer networking opportunities. Additionally, offering your skills pro bono on platforms like Catchafire could help you gain valuable experience.

I think honesty always prevails in everything. So I would 1) make your intentions clear to your team 2) offer your assistance with the PM team to help them (possibly outside your regular working hours): conducting user interviews, analysing recordings, that sort of stuff

To find your first PM project for experience, consider networking with PM professionals, exploring freelance platforms for opportunities, or even shadowing a PM to learn the ropes.
