Episode Summary
In this episode we share some useful resources if you are considering changing career. Some resources we personally go to for career transitions:
1. Podcasts
2. Use the people in your life as resources: when Angela was exploring Product Management, she asked brother in law and talked to MBA classmates
Find people who are doing what you want to do and ask them how they got to where they are. Try this on LinkedIn and meet more people on Eventbrite3. if you can identify an industry or specific role~
Do your research, don’t make assumptions about what the role’s day to day is likeFind people who are doing what you want to do and ask them how they got to where they are4. Whether you know what you want to pivot to or not, virtual events are all over the internet. We use Eventbrite to find local events and if there are specific roles I'm interested in, there almost always is at least one online community on Facebook or LinkedIn
We are part of Women Who Code, Women In Product, and TEDX communities in the Bay Area5. Mindset is EVERYTHING! Have an open mind, be super clear about your WHYs and what drives you even if money is not in the equation. You never know what your next opportunity is going to come up and if you have any ounce of doubt about networking, listen to our episode where we interviewed Britt Ramsey who turned a 2 week internship into a full time job!
