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
