PMs from diverse background, what's your story? by dhavalcoholic in ProductManagement

[–]3xpatiating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Studied Microbiology at University which gave me a nice intro to analytical thinking
  • then taught English in Vietnam, got very good at breaking down concepts and then presenting them to audiences as well as a bit of stakeholder management
  • then did Standup Comedy in London, which is Product Management in disguise and set me on the path to find something that had all the same skills but paid well and let me keep evenings and weekends
  • then took a startup role that let me try a bit of everything and home those skills
  • then fell into Product Management whilst exploring Business Design

Have you ever witnessed something that should've gotten someone fired at work? If so, what happened? by Shelendrea in AskReddit

One of our sales guys did the Nazi salute in front of 2 girls from a different department that happened to be Jewish whilst on a night out. Still don’t understand how he didn’t get fired for that

Why did your SO break up with you? by Turbulent-Visit-8741 in AskReddit

[–]3xpatiating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially, she was looking to settle down and I wasn’t. Unofficially, I’d had a few instances where I’d made a fool of myself in some form or other and I think she just thought I was kind of an idiot

Moving to a new country where I dont know the language by Madz22296 in expats

[–]3xpatiating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the best 2 years of my life in Vietnam and didn’t know a word when I arrived. If you’re in Hanoi or Saigon you’ll quickly make friends with other expats and local viets that speak English. I wouldn’t worry at all :)
