Advice for taking policy experience to the tech world?
anonymous·Jan 22, 2020·2 replies
Hi everyone! I'm a mid-career professional looking to pivot to roles in FAANG policy shops. The majority of my career has been spent as a diplomat (focusing on Latin America) and I also have experience in higher education, non-profits, and on Capitol Hill. I'm drawn to these companies in particular because they influence our daily lives and I want to help bridge the gap that exists between policymakers (and consequently policy) and technologists. Has anyone navigated a similar pivot (public sector / non-tech to tech)? If so, what advice do you have? What is the best way to package my experience given the competition and need to beat ATS? So far I'm working my network, applying frequently, and reaching out to people on LinkedIn.
