I've been working in a product/project manager type of position for two years now at a major telecom company (starts with a C, ends with a t. Take some guesses). I've helped design and bring a couple of products to market, including automated ordering of services and products through the company's website, ordering features from handsets, consultant order handling and routing orders for large businesses. I don't touch code at all in my current role, but I've been a ton of different roles from a PM type (managing resources and schedules, goals and deadlines, etc), user sentiment research (conducted demo sessions with end users, gather requirements, fed it back into the development cycle) and defect triage.<p>I'm an excellent communicator, I can speak with development and QA as well as business types, and I follow the tech scene pretty closely. I haven't done any coding for the better part of three years, but I'm trying to teach myself Rails. Is it possible for me to be hired in San Francisco or the Valley? Are there jobs for the "type" of role I fit into/am looking for? I've been applying to as many jobs as I can so far, but I've had no luck.
