Bosch automotos, especially those who are in management or applying for management role have a dubious reputation in other non-automoto companies. In my company, while shortlisting resumes, there's an "unofficial" rule to avoid Bosch automotos, especially those who claim to be either Engineering Manager or Project Manager, unless the candidate appears to be exceptionally talented.

After the recent years of BGSW's house of cards falling apart, we received lots of Bosch candidates. Majority of the interviews were a complete disaster, and our interview panel got second hand embarrassment from the answers of these Bosch people calling themselves Project Manager. They didn't know any ABCD of Project Management, just how to use Jira to forward tickets assigned by German counterpart to the team in India and Vietnam, then sit on their head till the ticket was fixed, providing neither any technical inputs to the project, nor any support to the people working.

By comparison, the people applying for technical roles generally do a lot better in the interviews. Because they do the actual work, so they at least know some stuff.

So my advice is, don't think that by doing one or two courses, you are qualified to be a Project Manager, that too in big companies. Especially when you carry that Bosch baggage.

Instead you have two options.
1. Join those companies on the technical side, then move internally to Project Management when the opportunity comes.
2. Join smaller companies as Project Manager, then try to use that experience to move into the big companies.

If you are a graduate/post graduate from a tier-3 college and have worked at a tier2/tier3 company and have some certifications on project management from Google, etc. does not mean you even get shortlisted by companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. if you are lucky you get a call from those companies otherwise forget it.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector.

I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
