My wife got an oppurtunity to join a Tech Company so we moved to Austin Texas. I currently am an Industrial Engineering Manager who works from home 50% of the time and travels the other 50%. I manage three IEs across the country as well as own the labor management programs across our distribution centers (CA, MI, KY). Our distribution centers have an upgrade cycle that that is lead by our IT department but all configuration and most mod requirements are created through me and my manager who is the Director of Industrial Engineering. I am proficient at SQL, the WMi system we use (software: Manhattan) and love data analysis. I have two questions for you what jobs in tech companies could I apply for, even if i have to step down from a manager role (at first) I actually love managing professionals. Second, what programming labguages/ skills should I learn to join a tech company as a sales or customer engineer? Main reason im looking wven though i love my job is that I only make 112k after base/bonus/stock, midwest company for ya...
Also, are you into supply chain? Given you are an industrial engineer
I like supply chain it just seems like like going the full tech route is the way to make money, currently I make 112k after all compensation.
That TC is depressing after 28 years of experience
Product manager, program manager, data scientist
What’s it mean to be a program manager and can you be one if you have no experience with said product?
Never being one, I imagine all roles have an entry level... Program manager needs to coordinate multiple teams &/ multiple products possibly cross office toward one goal. Could be to secure a customer, to prepare for a demo, or anything that needs multiple teams to work together.
Yeah I think data analyst or data scientist is a good. Might need to do some Coursera courses to solidify your knowledge. But you have a good start already.
Data analyst man. Data Scientist does require much core mathematical background. depending on the company of course
Yeah probably a better fit. Or data engineer would fetch you higher TC, but you need to know coding and CS concepts related to networking and storage.
Separate q for you. What is your wife's new TC? Been thinking of a similar move myself
+1
Her TC is 145k.
Op Amazon has a team called scot, supply chain optimization team. There is a group on meetup that solves cracking the coding interview cases. Even if you don’t land in Amazon, black locus(Home Depot) and some shipping companies should be interested in your skill set
Scale of 1-10, how good are you at data analysis? SQL basically
I would say 7-8, is there a good way to grade your proficiency?
write a query that produces a table of blind users who’s tc > 100k
