I am lost. Guide me. Currently working as a program manager (non tech). No scope in team. The manager is least interested in connecting with me. Trying to look for a job outside. But no luck. Even tried internal jobs but still no luck. Overall 9yoe, 3 yoe as program manager. Planning to do an MBA but not encouraged by the family. Having kids (2+) who need my time but mind is earning for my career. Feel like half baked and a lost cause.
Can someone guide me what to do with my life?

Hey Bud,

Had faced a similar situation, a few couples of years back I moved to tech.

Now as a program it is really difficult to make a mark in tech as you are neither building products like Product Managers or writing code as SDEs so your only responsibility is to keep the dots connected. Now if you have been in Non Tech for 9+ years moving to tech can be really hard. So you can look for strategy roles, get some certifications to make you a good fit. You can also get those IIM/ISB certifications which can help you advance further, now I really don't know what your experience is in. So putting my finger on a specific course certificate is difficult. Probably you would need to check the courses for yourself.

Best wishes

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
