Landing a top-tier PM job in the US. Long-term plan
Hey blinders, is it the right place to ask for career advice? My goal is to relocate to the US and get a Product Management job at a top-tier company, and I am not sure how to achieve it. I'm an entrepreneur who launched two relatively successful IT businesses in Russia, working there both as CEO and PM. 7 years total experience, 5 of them running my own businesses. - The budget that I was managing as a CEO/PM was $500k/year max - I do not have any formal PM experience. Only working at my own business - I neither worked in any English-speaking environment or built a company for the international market (though my English is pretty good) - I don't have a strong network outside of Russia to refer me - Will require visa sponsorship I'm currently actively interviewing with some companies from the US, Canada, and the UK. None of them are top-tier, just "meh". What path do you think I should take to achieve my goal?
Go to meh then jump to top tier if needed.
Meh in the US? I have several meh options around the world
Yes meh in the us. Bc having us address and Us work experience help you get top in us.
I'm practicing a lot (30+ mock interviews to this date), but in reality, it's hard to get even to the phone screening from where I am now
Just get a eb-5 visa.
Your goal should be to first make it to the USA then find your dream job
How would you make it to the USA without a job offer? Or do you mean to get any PM-related job in the US first, even if the company is "meh"?
Yes
