Hi Team,

I am raising this query over here in order to get you all experts guidance.

I am having overall - 10 years of experience in IT and 5 years in UiPath.
I am in mid of my career. I work for a reputed company.
I see in my current project i don’t have any work, in spite of asking for work.

I came here to ask, what i can learn in this free time. In order to upgrade myself.
Well as my experience is 10 years and i am a Team lead. Now planning to go up in my career.

As i am already a lead, So if i have to become a manager then what skills or courses i have to take up?
as my core skill set is RPA UiPath, also i have learnt a little bit of AA tool as well. Blue prisum i hardly work as i dint get chance.
Maximum i worked on UiPath. Also i had worked as .NET DEV as a fresher.
Do i need to MBA, if so in which particular stream like there are many things in MBA too. and now 10years of exp all in to technical field ONLY.
Now can any one give me some guidance.
also planning to change the job, as in my existing project not sure how to ask for Roll off.

Did any one face this career challenge? if so then your inputs matters a lot.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
Seema

Hi @Seema_S,

I’m in similar circumstance and I think it depends on where you think your strength is.

MBA makes sense if you are already a manager and wanting to climb up to upper management or executive role. Look into project management certifications instead, such as Prince2 or PMP.

If you’re wanting to stay doing UiPath, look into becoming RPA Manager or RPA Solution Architect. Finish all the related UiPath Academy courses if you haven’t already.

Switching to Business Analyst roles could help you branch out of UiPath if you are good with dealing with people. Also good to supplement your technical experience with business experience before transitioning up to manager roles.

If you are feeling adventurous, consider skilling up in cloud services (Azure/AWS/GCP), AI (ChatGPT + myriad others), DevOps, Agile, etc.

Last but not least, setup your own IT consulting business and be your own boss.
