That is an interesting question to think about. For me, I would certainly work several years as an engineer, as I learned a lot in my engineering years during undergrad and grad school. I think it will be hard for me to start in a management role as I do not have enough knowledge to handle large projects or to manage heavy tasks. Working as an engineer under the supervision of different knowledgable managers would build my skills and abilities to be a future manager. This includes communication skills, leadership skills, etc. In addition to my technical skills, I would need to build my interpersonal skills as a manager as I don’t feel that I learned that much about management throughout my years as a biomedical engineer. Courses focused mostly on purely technical aspects, and this is what I liked most in this course that I am learning about the real industry life.
