How do you move on from endpoint management when your experience is with a different tool?

You already have endpoint management experience. Don’t describe yourself as someone starting from scratch just because the next company uses a different console.

On your resume and in interviews, explain what you managed and what problems you solved, not just which product you used. Application deployment, profiles, troubleshooting and deciding whether a deployment should be required or available are useful concepts across tools. A company still has to be willing to let you learn its particular setup, but the foundation counts.

Get some hands-on Intune practice alongside the certification study. Microsoft Learn is a reasonable place to start, and a suitable Microsoft 365 developer or trial environment may give you a way to explore the tooling. Check the current eligibility and licensing requirements first.

Build a small lab and work through managing a device, deploying an app and applying a policy. You can use virtual machines for some of this, though physical devices may be useful for scenarios that need them. The lab won’t be the same as production experience, but it gives you something concrete to discuss.

There’s a difference between understanding device management and knowing the quirks of a specific product. Use your existing experience to explain the former, then study the details of the tool a role requires, such as deployment options, client sync and policy behavior.

That makes for a more convincing interview answer than claiming every platform works the same way. You can be clear about what transfers and what you still need to learn.

MD-102 could give your Intune study some structure and show employers you’ve put time into learning it. I’d pair it with a lab rather than relying on the credential alone, especially if job listings are asking for practical experience.
