Hi everyone,
I have a total 9+ work ex in Devops and Release Management. Did an executive mba with a goal of breaking into Program management but got recruited into Management Consulting . In this company for the past 3 months.
I feel that my overall skills are better off in a TPM/Program Management role.
My overall experience makes me eligible for most PM roles.
My question is how do I prep for a TPM role since I don’t have development or Scrum Master exposure. Amazon India VMware BrowserStack Inc.
McKinsey & Company Hi all! Any fishes at BCG and/or McK have time to chat sometime within the next few days/weeks?
I’m a consulting analyst at Accenture, really interested in strategy work (mainly tech/software clients but open to all backgrounds) hoping to make the jump some time next year. I’d very much appreciate connecting to understand your journey with the firms and the work you do.
Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

For the past 4 years I’ve been studying web development. As a guy that used to do sales a ton, we used to live and die by law of averages. You probably know what law of averages is so I’ll spare a full explanation, but the more competitive a market is the rougher the law of averages is. I only say this because it sounds like you would benefit from putting yourself out there more, so law of averages can pay off.
Additionally, sometimes we have to become numb to the pain to get the progress we are looking for. It’s always the people that push past the pain points that get to the winners circle first. Maybe consider doing something solo. Most of the people that make a ton of money started off with solo ownership of something first.
Like the ones that go "your skillet is highly specialized but UNFORTUNATELY"... I'm starting to hate that word it's just always used to mask the truth

Yep. I hear you all. If we're so good at something the why the, "Unfortunately"? I came to a conclusion that in this day an age it's a matter of hiring someone with less experience. Young, inexperienced and CHEAP.
I see mostly sr dev positions rn on linkedin. Very very few jr dev/ mid
I don't understand why these interviewers can't seem to see that if your skilled in one particular area, that it means you can very likely learn other things as well. For example, if you know C++, why can't they see that you can learn other languages and that your previous experience helps to lower the learning curve?
OMG, I'm so with you on this one, OP...
I wanna also add that hearing "you are overqualified" for a position that is clearly not for a junior (I have 8y of experience) makes me wanna go rage. 😅
Thanks, I'm flattered, but I'm not getting a job like this...
You can use me a reference. I 'll make you shine even though I don't know you, lol! Instant job 4 you via social networking!
What about moving to one of the heavy demand technology? You could make use of the expertises like C#, but decorate the resume with web technologies using microsoft dotnet.
Would adding HTML5, PHP, etc to your resume help? With everything going web based, a lot of companies need people to maintain and up date their internal/external sites. Just a thought.
