Question

I was technical cofounder, but product failed, did some freelancing, then joined in an another small startup, but that one failed. Took a sabbatical, covid happened, Now I want to get back to a day job. I can code, can manage product, manage people, but not good with algorithms. What kind of job will be suitable for me?

Quite a few existIf you are looking for a change from coding, product management or data science are relevant career paths where you can leverage your previous experience
