Dear Aspirant,

Eight years of experience in UI/UX domain is actually a fantastic achievement and getting the position of a Lead is as well commendable. Congratulations!

Your inclination and interest in getting into managerial role is very right and this is definitely the right time to think and take efforts for it.

Are you PMP certified? If not, I would suggest that you get the PMP Certification as early as possible, since as you may be knowing PMP is highly regarded certification across the globe for IT industry and you can progress towards the Project Manager designation with this.

Alternatively, you may also go for a good Executive MBA in General Management from a really reputed BSchool. This will ensure a long term managerial role opportunity for you.

Best wishes

Hi Nishi,

Firstly wonderful years of experience in your area of expertise. After such wonderful experience people definitely look towards a managerial role and so are you.

But please note, since your experience is into the technical field, companies will first offer you a job related to your field of experience.

So as a manager, you would have to begin all over from the basic. 

Why dont you opt for a team leader kind of a job, which is like heading a team but in your area of expertise.

And never the less, I agree with Dr. Anand, getting project management certified will boost your career.

Do not get disheartened. Keep hopes and apply for a managerial role, but at the sametime be ready to start as a fresher.

Wish you good luck...
