Lmao AI^, but yes, just find the transferrable skills and then highlight them in your interviews. You'll need to do more leg work, find people on LinkedIn at the companies you're interested in.

It's possible though, I went from working in Insurance to Education to Tech but the common theme is my function (Strategy).

What industry? I’m in Houston! Houston Chronicle is hiring but I have other connections too.

At this point I'm unsure. I'm currently being self taught Python through Coursera, I have a Retail, Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Psychology, Financial Counselor/Financial Coach background. While it's easy to stay in any of these profession, Compassion Fatigue is real and I'm burnt out.

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?

The other would mean taking a year off work and pursuing the LL. M, Thanks for help
