executive Dan Shapero switched from sales to product using three key strategies that any professional can apply.
It was 2014, and Shapero was vice president of global sales for LinkedIn's recruiting business, Talent Solutions, managing about 1,200 people around the world. He was walking outside in San Francisco with CEO Jeff Weiner, and he answered Weiner's question honestly. Shapero took a month to mull over the conversation, after which he returned to Weiner and told him: "Let's do it." He was going to leave his current position in sales and develop the skills necessary to be a leader on LinkedIn's product team.
"When you're used to doing a job with a certain level of mastery and you're moving into a job where you don't have that level of mastery," Shapero said, "having support around you is really important."Before making any big decisions, Shapero talked to his wife about what they would do if the career transition didn't pan out.
This timeline was key, if only because it freed him somewhat from rumination. When you're planning your next career move, Shapero said, "it's important not to spend every minute asking yourself whether you've made the right decision."
