Is there anything similar to the PF Transitions Guide for those of us who started with the PF2e Beginner Box set and have finished Troubles in Otari? What would you recommend next for me as a new player and new GM?

There is a whole Beginner Box forum

Beginner Box Forum

The stand-alone adventure Troubles In Otari was written to be the follow-on adventure for new characters transitioning from the Beginner Box. It is written for characters level 2, 3, and 4 and can be run using BB rules.
Troubles In Otari Adventure
Troubles In Otari Flip Mat.

It has a section "Beyond The Beginner Box" that includes 4th level rules for BB characters. That's really all you need to transition. Or your group can move right in to the Core Rulebook rule set as soon as they finish the BB adventure.

There's a thread in the BB Forum that talks about the (small) differences between BB rules and the CRB.
Rules Differences

Once your group has finished Troubles In Otari, the consensus seems to be that Age Of Ashes Abomination Vaults is the best AP (adventure path) to move to is you want to continue using published modules instead of writing your own adventures. There are pawns for the NPCs and monsters available .

Abominations Vaults Adventure

There is also a thread in the PFS forum that tells you how to make BB characters compliant with PFS rules
Pathfinder Society Official Conversion Guide. Troubles In Otari is a PFS-sanctioned adventure, so players can jump right in to Society play.

The Abomination Vaults adventure path centers on a megadungeon that is near Otari, and assumes the town will be their home base. I would check the dedicated forum for Abomination Vaults to see if there's any tips for welding the two together.

Oops, you're right. Editing now.

Clarification edit for those reading this in the future:

The Beginner Box contains an adventure titled "Menace Under Otari" that takes the group from character level 1 to character level 2.

The stand-alone adventure "Troubles In Otari" takes the characters from level 2 through level 4, so that they are ready to level up to level 5 at the end of the adventure.

"Ruins Of Gauntlight" (the first adventure in the Abomination Vaults series) is written for level 1 characters. The second adventure in that series, "Hands Of The Devil" is for level 5 characters.

You can easily scale up the encounters in the first book if your group is finding them too easy with their current characters.
