User Research to Project Management

Hello,

I'm a 23-year-old UX Design Bootcamp graduate as of last week. During the Bootcamp, I spent most of my time focusing on design thinking as well as both qualitative and quantitative user research. It wasn't until the last project where I realized that project management fit my skill set and personality more.

Fortunately, we did discuss:

Project management, agile, lean, waterfall, standups, scrums, A/B testing, product management, managing clients and stakeholders, professional agreements, scoping and project planning, stakeholder interviews, service design, content strategy, and business analysis.

I have gone back to those old lessons and familiarized myself with the role. It's definitely something I want to do. I am looking to get a job as one. Any advice on making the transition from UX Research into Project Management?

I'm about to take on Coursera's PM learning path. Are there any courses I should take that isn't listed there?

Are there any online resources where I can learn about: business psychology, strategic thinking, corporate strategy, business operations, growth (market penetration, performance management (operations optimizing)? These are skills I would like to learn, as well.
