I quit coding five years ago to become a technical business analyst (which I regret now). I’m good at SQL, analytical and a PMP. What are my exit options if I don’t want to travel in Big4?

Why regret?

like

Regret is just that I can’t try roles like a TPM in Amazon.

Steve Jobs couldn't code and built Apple. Just apply for TPM at Amazon and see how far you get. I doubt you would be actually hands on coding in that role.

Thank you

Amazon

All the TPM roles they have require hands on coding it looks like. This is one of the things that make me regret.

With your skill set you will end up in Similar Roles anyway, I would say complement your SQL skill with some Reporting Platform/ BI tool

Thank you. I’ll try this.

Federal consulting

Unfortunately I’m on H1B and my ability to get the clearance is limited.

Where are you located?

G1, just curious. Can you pls let me know if you think Google will have any opportunities for someone with my skill sets?

yeah I really wish I can do more SQL and BI on a project so I don't lose those skills

I hear you.

GPS

Thank you

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

I’d love to meet someone here :) 31/M
