AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jen Lew, a 44-year-old business operations director based in San Francisco, about her career journey.
I didn't know what to major in, so I figured I'd start with a more cost-effective community college and transfer to a state college in two years.
Now, I'm a business operations director at LinkedIn without an MBA or Ivy League education.
I didn't know what I wanted to do and was willing to take any job.
After about two years in product management, LinkedIn contacted me directly about their global ad operations job.
