How can I shift from sales/marketing to technical? I am BE(Mech) & MBA(Mrktng&Systems) having 7+ years exp in sales and marketing in heavy engineering sector based at Kolkata. I want to change to something technical like analytics/data science/big data/SAP etc. I am ready to relocate to other cities. Would my past experience be an add-on? What other options do I have?
