Where can I leverage my experience and strengths?
My career history has been in the utilities sector as an engineer, then as a department manager for a utility. I have 10+ years experience managing large infrastructure engineering and construction projects ($50M+/year) and managing operations and maintenance teams. I also have about 4 years of experience doing financial planning and forecasting for the utility, with the support of a financial analyst, and I have a strong understanding of infrastructure valuation.
I am naturally a decent project manager and pretty decent at providing director level input. I have no issues doing presentations, but I am not the best client face person and not the quickest on my feet verbally. My comfort zone is writing reports, high level problem solving and digging into problems to really understand them. I definitely have ADHD and maybe even mild dyslexia, but the meds help a bit.
I'll be attending a T20 MBA program this summer and want to target an exit opportunity that aligns with my skills. My backup is to stay in utilities, but I am wondering if there are other fields out there that I haven't even considered that might play to my strengths better.
