Looking for advice. Was recently laid off due to business unit underperforming and am now on the market with 10 years of experience and am looking to pivot to a strategic finance or product management role. Would anyone be willing to advice on the best process?

Pick a lane and an industry, these things aren’t like each other. Where is your deepest expertise? Do you know how to use AI to do that job better? Do you really know the industry?

10 years is a corporate breakpoint. You’ll be up against folks who have the knowledge and inside connections, and are vying for promotion to lower rungs of senior management. So you’d better be plug & play, nimble, loaded with useful insights from your consulting days.

I’d be open to manager and senior manager roles where I can just execute on strategic insights from management. Of course operation efficiencies and scale can be achieved by targeting right and cutting the right costs and bottleneck but I feel like I already know what I want. Industry expertise in software and tech

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
