Any advice on developing a career strategy? I eventually want to be a Chief Data Scientist or Chief Data Officer. Right now, I am a data scientist. I am pretty introverted but I'm ready to make myself uncomfortable to work towards this goal. I know I need to get better at building relationships with people. What else should in focus on?

Speak to people who have that position and learn how they got there. This will give you great insights, but also, importantly, you'll be exposed to those who can help you get there!

Start at your company, and the. Use LinkedIn to meet other people.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
