As we roll into another review season, genuine question: for those folks who consistently knock SPS out of the park (especially as SCs and above), what tactical advice do you have? Are there unwritten processes that you have applied to great success? Materials beyond the Academy that were a game-changer for you? Or key advice you received that helped flip a switch. Would love to hear from you and especially from those who used to struggle with it and turned it around.

Hello! What are the first steps to leaving agencies and going freelance? Working as a data, insights and strategy specialist in particular.

Freelance is completely new to me so any advice/guidance/links would be greatly appreciated :)

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

Hi I have a 2 year experience on SAP PO/BPM I want to switch to CPI also I want to learn DevOps.Which is better ?

Never been in an SE or consulting or B2B sales role before but have a referral at Salesforce and have been in some informal conversations. I’m starting to freak out a bit now that maybe I can’t do it. I have a tech background so can handle that part, but perhaps strategy may be difficult. Anyone make the transition to an SE role that have some advice?

Deciding on a career path

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing.

I currently work in audit, I’m not sure what exit opportunities are an option for me for the investing/finance industry. Feel like chances are are slim. Any advice?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
