Anyone here at KPMG Lighthouse? I'm a Manager in KPMG's Deal Analytics team and am wanting to move away from the Alteryx/PBI-heavy work we do and start using my SQL/Python skills more. Would love to connect and learn more about what you all do, if my skill-set could be useful on any projects, and which skills I should keep developing to potentially initiate a transfer if the group is a better fit for my interests.

Feel free to DM and I can provide more specifics.

I hear DOJ said their individual components will decide when exactly to return between mid-March and early May and some are offering a lot of remote flexibility even after then. Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!
