I'm an environmental engineer with little bit experience in the field gained in my country. I moved to the UK before covid and got a sales assistant job and later, an engineering and compliance administrator job. However, I want to get into the environmental field (sustainability, ecology, etc) but I feel like my experience before the UK doesn't count to the recruiters, since I'm only getting proposals from administrator roles. How do I overcome that?

Looking to get in the field of Project Management or Product Management. Currently working in the field of Ad Operations. Any advice where to start and what steps to get into one of those fields?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

How would you structure this resume?

Student startups & non-CS undergrad ->
masters in analytics & related part-time work ->
3 yoe DS in tier 2 tech company ops, accidental tech lead ->
burnt out/bored, quit, was lazy doing part time CS prereq classes for a year ->
breadth oriented masters in CS (finishing in spring)

Targeting PM roles cause people work comes easy to me (vs applied science/MLE coding) and ops cost center budgets suck. Doing formal CS just cause wanted to learn, fill in gaps.
