From engineering in India to marketing in the U.S.: Ram’s advice for those seeking a career change in a new country. Ram Sasidhar Indian Developer Marketing Manager BeMyApp Masters in International Business Class of 2017 San Francisco campus “I’m from India, where it’s commonplace for your parents to encourage you to do engineering first, before you figure out what you want to do with your career. It was the same in my family. Despite my engineering degree, my passion is for marketing. Since I didn’t have any academic background in business or management, it was hard for me to find a business-related role in large companies. That was when I started looking at opportunities within startups, where I landed a role in a marketing and business development department. So, for newbies in the field of business, I recommend not ignoring smaller companies and to embrace jobs in business development and sales. It may be just the stepping stone you are looking for.” HULT.EDU/APPLY 57
