What would it take to leave a well-paid job and start over as a student with barely enough money for tuition? Sri Peruvemba, CEO of Marketer International Inc., joins Jamie Jacobs to share the choices that took him from an engineering career in India to helping grow E Ink and advising technology companies. He describes the bosses who gave him room to advance, the spreadsheet he uses to weigh career moves, and what he has learned from helping hundreds of people with their job searches. Key Takeaways Promotion rules based on tenure can hold back strong performers. Sri left a successful career in India after realizing that better results would not be enough to move him forward. Leaders who support ambitious employees can help them grow quickly. Sri credits bosses who recognized his ability and gave him opportunities, including four promotions in roughly a year at his first U.S. employer. Taking on neglected work can open unexpected doors. Clearing his boss's backlog of "fish files" helped Sri move from engineering into product management. A weighted spreadsheet can clarify a difficult choice. Sri compares his current role, a new opportunity and an ideal job against the factors that matter most to him. A prestigious role can still leave you feeling like a number. The chance to contribute directly helped Sri choose E Ink over an established position at Sharp. Building a new market takes close collaboration with customers. Sri describes how E Ink and Amazon worked through early product problems together as the Kindle took shape. Mentoring works best when people can apply the lesson to their own circumstances. Sri shares personal examples and helps mentees work out their next steps. A goal bigger than your current circumstances can create motivation. Sri encourages mentees to identify what they want to accomplish and use it as a guide. Focus requires turning down opportunities. Sri advises founders to be selective and job seekers to communicate one clear area of expertise. Revisit your goals and the assumptions behind your choices. A smaller title or a move to another city may help you reach the future you want; taking responsibility for your own development can also benefit the people around you.
