Spent 4+ years as CMO of startup company. It was an incredible learning experience but also a very difficult uphill battle trying to steer the owners and the company in the right direction. I’ve just exited the company as of 11/18. The owners expected to storm the marketplace and emerge as a number one brand at only 6 years old without putting in the work.Company had a very hard time understanding the concept of a unique value proposition. Hoping to find a new remote (full time) position ASAP

Great insight here, been doing SAP for over 5 years and now realized the market is over saturated (more supply, less demand) . The projects are not money spinners anymore and hence, the pay/demand for consultants has dropped. I've enrolled into a couple of data science courses in the hope for a career switch but I'm really not sure how to rebrand myself without resetting my career clock. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Experience was good and it'll definitely add valuable skils to your arsenal. Not sure if it's marketable though. All I heard when I mention that to interviewers was 'good for you' sort of comments. Rest is upto how well you do in the interview. Within EY I am yet to meet people with similar skillset. The max people do here is SQL or Tableau related. May be that's just client requirement driven.
True that. I am kind of surprised at the level of skillset that we hire. None of them have any solid skills. The new way forward is analytics, machine learning and AI. We should be hiring these people. The whole generation who knew SAP, excel and PowerPoint are going away. We (people in 20s and 30s) are going to have tough competition from Gen Z etc. especially since they learn programming in elementary schools nowadays.
Following your thoughts D1. I am in the same bot as you. Trying to switch to analytics. The robots are coming!!
Haven't done Udacity one but did the Coursera data science specialization.
Did it help? How was your experience? Just trying to understand if these courses help to make our skills marketable.
