Hello tech 🐟. I come in peace. I hate consulting within the SDLC and am looking to become more tech product focused. I have done project, program, and product management over the years. It’s been all implementations with upfront strategy work.

I had a product director role lined up but pay was peanuts. I have an MBA and PMP but want to become more techie like you all.

QUESTION: how can this old guy start sounding more techie and less MBAish? I am not trying to boil the ocean at this point.
