Hey Sergio,
This sounds like a really amazing opportunity. As someone interested in SWE (and the possibility of PM), how would you advise I navigate the decision of narrowing down what path I want to go into?
Do you think that project management is something you’d prefer to do professionally as opposed to having a more specific role in a company or team?
What about project management is similar to general engineering, and what’s different?
Also, how did you manage to land an internship like this?
