Future Prospects (personal outlook) :
I have been struggling in career for this two years as I realize the property industry is so underpaid and not much career prospect as compared to other industries like Manufacturing or IT. Not to mention no flexibility at all for working from home, or time arrangement.
I myself do not have too much interest in property and I was actually thinking of switching industry last year after I resigned and move from JB to Png. However I had too many choices and my first trial to join education field failed drastically and out of anxiety I jumped back to property field to cut me from my misery. My strength is in management and research, which is why all field seems same to me, but to start up in a new field usually wont provide management role, and the starting salary would be low.
Currently just work at this new joined company and continue to explore other career and field after working hours, hopefully can find a clearer path as I go.
Any suggestions or comments to me, am welcome to hear out.

QUOTE(d-ky @ May 18 2023, 11:55 PM) ever consider of product manager whereby you manage product and research on how to make it better? Interesting suggestion, I did come across this career but it is not in my exploration list, how's the career prospect of a product manager in Malaysia? In the sense of working remotely? |

QUOTE(d-ky @ May 19 2023, 08:02 PM) depends on which industry and what level of risk you are willing to take, i would say fintech and web3 are the most rewarding in asia region now for (based on my personal experience) and they are okay-ish with fully remote if this is what you are looking at i got a bit bored on staying at the environment recently hence planning to look for a remote job that pays in ahem 3x ahem currency that would allow me to travel and work around the world for maybe a year or two edit talking about product manager, it can be very challenging if your product has direct customer impact; there are also internal product that mostly created to syiok-sendiri from what I've see in my current company, customer facing PM can be very stressful but i think those who are workaholic will like it a lot lut. Basically what PM does is translate technical features from engineers to the higher ups and clients. So far i have seen some became either non-technical solution architects or director of products that manage multiple products/product managers. Yup I can see the prospect in these field you mentioned, and yes especially on the remote and the currency side hahaha. Switching from Architecture/Construction to IT is somewhat a fresh start, a totally non related field. I would have to brace myself for at least 2 years of learning and lower income and a lot of learning on new knowledge. Product manager though has some transferrable skills from my current field and career, but still is quite a broad title since one can land at any product/company/field. |
