stuck··on Ask HN: What is a non-developer to do?
Thanks a lot for the links! I did read some cool stuff from Sivers before but I missed the articles you linked

Of course I am willing! As long as I believe in what I am selling I think it would be a great challenge to get my point through

Definitely great advice!

No I cannot sell, usually this is what partners do in my company. I only interact with the clients after the initial sale was done. The closest I get to selling is in drafting the request for proposal (a doc where you tell them how you want to solve their problem/need) for the specific client.

Those are exactly my fathers words. I have definitely thought about this option, my fear is that I will get to 35 without having done anything that I care about in life.

I only have 2 years of work experience, I highly doubt I am qualified enough to work as a product manager :)

Thanks for the blog, will add it to my list of morning reading. I do read a lot, I love it! Apart from web reading I also read books, non fiction mainly - I recently read hackers&paints, 4 steps to epiphany, presentation zen, back of a napkin...I love reading stuff that makes me better at work. What I do not like is the lack of flexibility to try new stuff at work.

The interested part is what bothers me. I cannot seem to find an answer to that even though I spent countless nights trying to figure it out. I like reading, watching movies, going to the gym, dancing, skydiving....heck, I have loads of interests! But hey, can you make a living out of reading books that you like and dancing?

I moved away from my country of origin at 17, lived in 4 different countries and I fluently speak 4 languages. Relocating is not a problem at all.

Sounds easy. Finding something that you care about and that you can actually contribute to is the hard part.
