I don't wanna learn coding. I'm good at management, presentation, communication, negotiation and debate. It's 'cause of the fear that I might end up as jack of trades, neither professional on technical nor non-technical.

You should learn to code, those other things you think you're good at, I think you're being deluded about what you actually bring to the table.

I don't mean to condescend but you haven't done any of those things yet either.

To put this into context, THERE ARE 22 years old who work with CEOs and advise VPs of f500 companies, and even they haven't REALLY done any of those things yet.

I've worked as immigration counselor, and marketing executive and currently tutorial students just for living.

But the things is I'm more research oriented before taking action on something.

A million other people are good at that, likely better than you. Why would someone work with you?

Learn to code.

Sales is the thing that matters on the product, to get the return and I'm ready for sales. I can manage sales, and business development, along with operations.

If I tried to get hands on everything, I'll end up with nothing.

So join a startup where someone is already working to make the product.
