Hello! I’m graduating next in spring 2023 with a bachelors in business administration with a concentration in management in systems. The major has allowed me to touch on multiple different portions of tech like data analysis, website development, accounting and budgeting, and project management. My question is what do kind of companies can I apply for with a goal of getting in a project management or product owner job later? What would be my job progression to get to that point as well? Thanks!

Awesome thank you!

With that background, you should be able to apply just about anywhere. The question I would ask is what industries/sectors most interest you? That should help you narrow your scope.

Yeah see that’s my only issue, it’s so vast and I’m indecisive but I just have to hop in at this point. people have told me to get into the big 4 which I’ve already applied to Accenture for now. I’m interested in being a jack of all trades. But I might be more into learning code if anything. Do you recommend any firms to lean into that are more newgrad friendly? Or is it just the same across the board

If you feel like you could be passionate and interested in code I would go for that. Web development, data analysis, and project management are your heavy hitters here for tech, although you could also go into accounting at a big 4.

Yeah im not a math guy, so accounting would be hard for me, I mean formulas are easy to learn it’s just monotonous and I heard it’s stressful. Thanks for the reassurance!
