Something she might want to consider is entering the tech industry as QA/Tester.

Typically, the barrier of entry is lower for QA than roles such as PM. With the right opportunity, she will get a lot of experience working with tech teams and gain some insight into how to be an efficient PM. And the money can be pretty good too.

I was on a client where, over the course of 2-3 years, one of the QA testers transitioned to a BA/Scrum Master role. She constantly stepped outside of her role and helped with management.

I only use my Echo Dot for a few things:

  - checking the weather/time
  - settings a timer 
  - having Alexa read me a bedtime story (Audible)

I think if I dedicated some time to actually integrate Alexa with my home (lights, Nest, speakers, etc.), I can see it improving productivity. Especially with how easy custom skills are to build, you can really take the technology much further.
