“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.”
