I am 28, a computer-science graduate with five years in the IT industry and experienced in both
sales and development. I relocated 10 months ago to work in a foreign country on a work visa as
a Web developer. But there's simply not enough work to keep me busy. Should I stay on and take
the free time to upgrade myself and wait for work to come? I am more people-oriented and
cannot sit at my desk all day. But I'm also interested in the Web technology and in the long run, I
aspire to be in management. What kind of jobs should I be looking for to meet these two
interests?
You experience is perfect for Internet IPOs or Net companies that need someone who can bridge
the technology and the business together. Pre- or post-sales engineering is perfect for you. So is
application engineer. These roles are designed for skill sets like yours.
