Anyone leave the industry and then come back? What was it like? I’m exhausted and want to explore what else is out there, but at the same time there are times I really love what I do. But mostly, I’m exhausted.

Good morning, hope everyone is having a great week! Does anyone have any advice on breaking into an analyst role? I am currently a Senior Customer Success Manager, with a background in Operations/Process and Project Management as well. I have always enjoyed the analysis pieces of my roles and would love to expand my skills to show how qualified for a position in data analytics. Thank you in advance for the help!

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?

What is the solution to give to your manager when you have too much on your plate but your team is struggling to hire more people (like everywhere else), agency won’t say “no” to clients adding more work, there are team members with even more work than you, and finding a new job isn’t financially feasible? Is it even possible to fix?

Consistently one of the hardest parts of my job at every agency I’ve worked has been reaching creative directors to get things approved. Remote work has made this even more challenging, when we’re running out of time to make edits before an internal review because we can’t get feedback when we need it. Does anyone have any solves for this? FWIW, my creative directors are thoughtful, great people, just exceptionally busy.

*me as an intern when i wasn’t totally confident with my idea*. Now before I present this idea to you, I want you to know that above all, it sucks. It’s horrible and reflects poorly on me as a person. Whatever you do-do not like it. I will be tendering my resignation once this is over. I want you to judge this presentation as harshly and with a negative bias against me as possible. Anyway, here’s the idea.
