Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now).

Hello everyone

I have been in the Customer success manager position for the last 1 and a half years and working in an IT company in Gujarat. I want to relocate to dubai. Does my experience help me to get a decent salary job as a CSM or Project manager in Dubai?

My total work experience is of 9 years in various domains.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

Who else got an offer from mindtree can please share YOE, designation and CTC offered so that It can be helpful for others.
