Product manager to tech role

Currently a technical product manager trying to see if it’s smart to get back into a more technical role. Have 2 years of help desk and app support experience and a year and a half of TPO/PM experience. If I were to go would go in a more cloud or security role. Specifically SecOps or IAM. Open to a GRC path as well. Anyone make the switch?

switch makes sense if you miss building and troubleshooting more than roadmapping, it is easier with your help desk background than you think. Cloud and security roles value context plus certs, so start stacking hands-on labs and a couple industry creds to prove you can still get technical.

Respectfully that sounds like zero years of relevant experience
