Editor's note: Aditya Mahesh is an associate product marketing manager at Google where he works on the Get Your Business Online program. I always knew I should have gotten a CS degree. It’s challenging to be a nontechnical person at a technical company. Last month marked my one year anniversary at Google. While I’ve learned a ton over the past year, I’ve realized that the foundations of the skills I’ve picked up could have easily been learned beforehand. I just wish someone had told me what I should focus on and where I should learn it.
