Business Analyst jobs on HSMP?

[tramp]

Friends:

Am I glad I found this forum! I currently work as a Product Delivery Manager with a small Independant Software Vendor in India and am planning to take the HSMP route. Could someone tell me what the chances are, for a person with 10 years of IT experience, of finding suitable employment either as a Product Manager or a Business Analyst in the UK? Is hoping for such a job realistic, given that I do not have prior UK experience? Any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Srini

Thanks for those websites, they really were pointers in the right direction. While browsing the jobs on the sites listed here I noticed that most PM positions were asking for the Prince2 certification. Does anyone know how popular this certification is in the UK and if it really would add value? Also, here is a paper that compares Prince2 with PMBOK- I found it useful:

It would be good if members could share their views and experiences regarding the Prince2 certification.

PRINCE2 is much sought after in the UK. But noone outside the UK knows about it. You are probably better off taking PMI in addition to PRINCE2 since PMI is recognised internationally.
