A little under a year ago, I joined an advertising agency as a Creative Director—at least that’s what my title and salary say. It was my first CD role after years of climbing the corporate ladder, and I was eager to finally apply everything I’ve learned: building brands, making clear decisions, mentoring creatives, and elevating the work (continuing in the comments)

Are there any real estate attorneys who have gotten into the title insurance business? What does that look like? Do you still carry on a private practice on the side?

Looking for thoughts.

I have 13 years of experience as a Business Analyst at various capacities (Regulatory, Data Verticals) in Banking with Bachelors degree in Accounting & Semi Qualified management accountant

Currently pursuing PGP in Data Science and in verge of completion.

Alongside I have got certifications in Cloud & Visualization tools.

Now I want to move completely to the Analytics/ML side. Will the companies consider my BA experience in Data & Regulatory experiences?

If you could start your MBA degree over what would you do differently?
