I've been entertaining the idea of a career change over the last year, and Product Management is an area that interests me greatly.
I'm just not entirely sure how to move across without damaging my existing salary to extensively, and also without knowing how transferable my skills are. How did you move into Product Management?

Many ways, and not one definite answer.
What's known it can take a bit of time, preparation and effort. It can be done alone and the internet resources are very helpful but taking the right mentor (I recommend it over courses that are more theoretical and general) can shorten the time to the Junior position.
I've seen it with my mentees in live, with the right direction from someone who been there (in my case over 100 product interviews, over 30 home tasks) and developed some methods and the right materials it can be done.
