NASA

Been working in a niche science field at NASA for about 8 years, with 6 years of lead/project management experience. Not much room to move up anymore in this field. I just received my MBA and should complete my PMP soon. I’m curious if anyone has any advice of how I could transition into tech either in a Product or Project Manager roles. Any recommendations for how to not only switch from Aerospace to tech, but how I can apply for tech project and product management roles?

    Pros

    It is like family. You get to meet really smart people. No office politics.

    Cons

    Space exploration is exciting but has challenges. For instance you must be prepared to get stuck in the tin can for months.
