I finished one of those 30-hour videos. I regulatory pause the video and copy down / play with the code on the video. It really depends on how you use these online learning things tho.

Agree!

I’d prefer a resource that also lets you follow along and actually practice the code too. As opposed to purely video-only with a multiple choice quiz. Looking for a hands on learning experience.

Thanks D1. Did that video walk you though how to set it up on your machine too? Im clueless and starting from scratch lol. If so, which video!?

Most videos give that instructions at the beginning

Python for development or data science? Colt Steele on Udacity is a good resource.

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time. I’ve lead several features from start to finish and made sure to mention in my resume that I have been doing everything a regular PM does. Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?
