Anyone here a boomerang consultant? Recently existed consulting to work in tech but I’m questioning whether this is for me. Which sucks because I spent so much time trying to find an exit!

Yes I left consulting and went to work at a client. Lasted 3 years and I got bored and missed the caliber of people I worked with. But, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I was always chasing something new and that was the main reason why I wasn’t happy at most places where I went.

Me too. I miss the ridiculous intelligence/ well honed way everyone has of thinking through problems / projects. Sighhhh.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Hey all! Heading into my 4th interview at a global SaaS company this week. I have a year of product marketing experience at a startup (I'm owning all PM efforts for a massive product), and the role I applied for asked for 3-5 years of experience.

Any tips on how I can prep for these interviews? They're with a few Sr. Product Marketing Managers on the team. I've already done an HR screening, call with the hiring manager, and deeper dive with another Sr. PMM.

Any advice is appreciated!
