3 years as an AE who bothered learning the craft from all the other teams made me incredibly valuable in startup land.

I can do enough to start all aspects of a marketing department and drive results until there's cashflow to hire specialists.

Took freelance jobs at in house departments for a couple years. Eventually was offered a full time gig at one.

This. Same for me.

Hopped from agency to client side after 5 years. I got lucky and the hiring manager cold reached out to me on LinkedIn

Was extremely difficult. I recommend levering your connections for that referral

Hey tech folks. I'm mentoring a software engineer graduate and wanted your opinion. I had him write out his 5 year goals to me and it's about finding his niche and specializing in 5 years. Would you say that's too early to think about specializing? My thoughts are to say it's OK if you find your passion and want to specialize, but it's also OK to generalize and pick up more skills and experience in different aspects of tech.

Hello Fishes,
Just a little weird question, suggestions will be helpful.
My cousin wants to enter into the IT industry but his graduation is from non Tech (B.A). So I have suggested him to persue and MBA in IT or MCA may be from distance learning will also help.
Please give suggestions which will be the most feasible way to enter the IT industry, given that he is financially not much sound but he is very smart and hardworking.
