Hi slicksoldier,
thank you very much for clarifying.
Yeah, that's what I meant. PM in High Tech, VC and Entrepreneurship are kind of different, even if the common theme is technology. However, you could split them in short, mid and long-term.
It would be great if you could get an international assignment (even if only a short one). Otherwise, you're going to need to show International Motivation through adaptability in multi-cultural teams, curiosity for cultures other than your own, global career goals, etc...
Regarding Spanish, it is always easier to prove your proficiency level through an official test, but if you can show that you use it at work or have used it during travels that should be just fine.
I hope this helps.
Good luck
Alex

Hi experts,
Firstly, big Thanks to all forum contributors for helping out anxious people like me! It would be great if somebody can evaluate my profile.

Professional Experience:
Job 1 (35 months):
Consultant at Tata Consultancy Services. Client was Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

I was key member of internal Tata team which handled a multi billion dollar project involving tie up with an International cab aggregator.
Startup (18 months):
Co founded a startup which was a B2B platform for SMEs. We matched web developers, designers, accountants with SMEs which wanted these services on a project to project basis. Was entirely self funded and we were cash flow positive. Had to shut down post demonetisation as our cash flows were completely squeezed. My co founder and I took up jobs to support the company but prolonged crunch forced us to shut down. Lots of learning especially how Government regulations can stifle entrepreneurship
