I think that I expressed that poorly.  I&#x27;ve shifted to sales&#x2F;marketing&#x2F;product management but in my heart of hearts, I still think of myself as an engineer - an engineer who&#x27;s been profoundly alienated from my means of production by this awful culture.<p>I agree with you that getting hired as a product manager isn&#x27;t easy but, almost without exception (even at places like Amazon), the process is actually respectful, which makes a world of difference.
