I Will Give You Advice on Career Advancement

When your job isn’t giving you room to grow, make some. The solution here isn’t necessarily to approach your boss and ask for a promotion point-blank.

Qualifications:
• Promoted 5 times within 5 years.
• Pitched, built, and launched products.
• Established two departments (Product Management, Media) at fashion eCommerce company.
• Active networker within various professional communities (mobile app development, women in tech, product management, etc.) and with recruiters.
