1 point by codex_irl on Feb 16, 2013 | hide | past | favorite
Hi All,<p>Ruby developer here, hoping for a little "community" advice so to speak.<p>I have a friend who is in his mid 40's, smart, hard working, down to earth, from Auz but now living in the bay area who has just left a major telecoms company & wants to work in software industry as a project manager.<p>While he has a good understanding of Agile practices, the problem is he has no experience in building software (although he is smart & very eager to learn)....he has asked for my help to get him his first role but I'm not sure what advice to offer.<p>Are there any PM's out there who could suggest how he could go about breaking into the business? Any ideas are very welcome!
