Let’s talk about your “dream job” or “dream career.” 

At one point, we had a lovely product assistant on our team. I was her boss’s boss at this point and I’ve always taken an interest in helping people get to their dream careers. 

She wanted to be a Technical Product Manager, but started out in seemingly the wrong place for that. No worries. We plotted it out. What skills was she learning in her current role that could get her into a new one? More importantly, what skills and qualifications did she need to be hired for a TPM position? 

We listed those out from a current job listing and then worked backward from there, plotting out her career path and further schooling path. She’s such a bright young woman - a young leader herself. 

Work backward. 

If you know your dream job or dream career, find your end goal, read one of those job descriptions, and then plot out what you need to get there. You learn all sorts of things in different roles. Plot out what that is, then make your path.
