DAVID SONG, ROSS '20

 

Product Manager, Samsung

"The Product Manager role is a great fit for people looking for ownership of a product. I got a flavor of the Product Marketing role through MAP and my internship. I wanted more ownership of the product, so I recruited for PM instead of PMM in the second year.”

Alex lin-goldsmith, Ross '09

 

Director of Go-to-Market Public Relations, VMware

“Use your time at Ross to test your assumptions about what industries and roles will be interesting to you. I spent my internship at PepsiCo, but then I re-recruited for a full-time role in technology. I chose to go into tech because I find it really fascinating, and I like the challenge. But in 5 or 10 years, I may choose to go into another industry. Your career isn’t linear.”
