Ask HN: Former Startup CEO in Eastern Europe. Career Path Suggestions?
Hi HN, need some advice here. I'm working since 2005 in online companies in an unnamed Eastern European country, been a (really successful) performance marketing director of an ecommerce company, CEO of a mildly successful startup, which I had to leave due to personal reasons, then CMO at a very successful startup and currently a head of product at a BigCo in Eastern Europe.
I want to move to work in US, but I am stumbling to find a good career path for myself. I am a good engineer, a good marketer, a moderately proficient data scientist, good at designing product, and generally good at solving business problems. Out of all jobs I've had, holding a generalist executive role has been the most personally rewarding, yet it seems that SV really favors specialists. Any place for (senior-level) generalists or any specific niche I could reasonably get in from across the ocean?
