I work in tech and still cannot decide if I want to be a UX Researcher or Product Manager... anyone in the same boat?

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

That's exactly what I saw when searching for Entry Level roles and then showing they need Experience. It's very misleading lol

[@saraeissa4954]

Damn she had all those tech jobs I’m struggling to get one at 24 lol 🤞

[@chloeshih]

keep it up!! you'll get there!! it took me a long time for sure!

[@bumandy]

I'm thinking of starting a KZbin channel on management consulting. would you be interested in interviewing me. I was a consultant with BCG, McKinsey and A.T. Kearney. I've worked on projects with the global heads of both BCG and McKinsey before their big promotions. also i reported directly to a former number 2 while with A.T. Kearney. I'm Korean-American too

[@markyatx]

How does she have so many prior jobs in big tech???

[@bykchoi]
