Are most companies paying for you to learn new skills? When acquiring new skills are you mostly self taught? What are your best go to sites for learning animation or video skills? Trying to gauge the norm on expectations for new hires who need to know everything from print, web, video, social and animation. Can you do it all?

Honestly get someone that is creative and can use Google and give them a uncapped internet connection. And then proceed to challenging them with new things. I am a mechanical Draughtsman, I also do blender visualisations, graphics design, CAD Admin, IT, coding, video editing, DIY and just about anything my team needs. I have been figuring out everything I needed to do on the go. I firmly believe I can do anything I set my mind on with some practice and a internet connection. Google and YouTube is your best friends.

I have an aversion to saying that I “can do it all” but I have definitely have tailored my skillset to support a more digital future. I can develop front-end as well as I can design visually, I can animate 2D/3D and model 3D from scratch. I think this triangle of skills is what Web3 will be built on.

I’ve been teaching myself Figma (YouTube) and some Blender (Motion Design School) through online tuts. My compensation package includes some tuition compensation but it doesn’t count if you’re not working towards a certificate of some sort (which I’m not) :/.

It’s not realistic to expect everyone to be able to be perfect at everything. I’m great with visual design, concepts and ux/ui while I can flex slowly with motion. My company does offer up to 1 or 2k a year for classes.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX.

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
