officially a computer engineer and mba. C, Java but no work exp as a coder. ran regional operations (p&l responsibility) for a fashion apparel company with 17 direct reports, 100+ indirect. launched products (suits and blazers) including pricing and gross margin decisions across 7 distribution channels. this is where I developed my communication (and influence) skills, analytical skills and business acumen.
- gus_massa 6y agoI think it's better to start your cv/presentation/whatever with * I got a computer engineer and mba an the university of X in the country Y instead of * I got no official degree in USA For some professions, a degree is almost universal [Mathematician here. The value of a math degree depends a lot on the university, the advisor, and how many papers you have published. But you are effectively a mathematician everywhere.] For other professions like lawyers and medical doctors, moving to another country means you must go back to primary school and draw your vertical and horizontal sticks again. But I'm feeling that you prefer a management position instead of a software developer position.
- Kshad 6y agothanks. yes, i do prefer a management position. any suggestions on what should i do in the next two months?
- akerl_ 6y agoProbably apply for management jobs. There’s not really any specific skill you’re likely to pick up in ~2 months that will make you more or less hire-able for “tech management jobs related to designing products”. Might as well start applying now, which will give you more time to get into the groove of interviewing at the companies you pick.
