If you are in the U.S., and working in a technology company, you already know that you can’t ignore the China factor.
Think about it this way. You know that your big customers are moving into China already. No brainer here.
But you also know that staying close to the customer is the best way to understand their product requirements and get their business.
So, the logical question your management will ask is, “Should we move our development teams to China too, to stay close to the customer?”
So, what does this mean to you?
How would you, as a professional, continue to keep your job?
To answer that question, you should be asking the next logical question, “In what ways you are going to be relevant to your manager, to your company? How are you, as a professional, going to keep your skillset relevant?”
Guess what, this is the same question I am asking for myself. This book came out of that exercise.
