Sorry, I have to type Eglish here. I lost my job last Feb, still look for opportunities. I was not prepared to stay home for so long even though I understood the current job market situation. Got my MBA in US (not top 30 B-school though), 10 years of experience in product marketing/management in hi-tech industry. Took 6 months last year to get myself PMP certified (Project Management Professional), back to job market in last Sept, had a few on-site interviews, but haven't got job offer yet.
Live in a bank town in Southeast, trying to get a project manager position in one of the banks in town. But without financial industry experience, only got one on-site interview, the salary range was about what I earned 5 years ago, still didn't get the job.
If I want to stay with the hi-tech industry, I have to move to west coast such as San Jose, SF areas. I am too scared of the living expenses there. In the area we are living, we can have a decent life style with $100k income. (My hu*****and had to take a job out of town last year because we do at least need one person work to support the family)
Should I try to look for opportunities in west coast? Any suggestions on how to get into finance or IT industry as a project manager?
