If there's anything I've learned in my 40+ years of experience is that anything is possible and flexibility is important and the ability to pivot in your career is more important now than ever . 
Years ago, a CPA from back, then called E&E would have no problem in finding a job in a great foundation for a great career

You can always find a job in public accounting even in the worst recession. Not sure how " comforting" that is.

CPA with some data science skills to tack on to the resume.

The amount of resumes I see get rejected from all these oversaturated data science backgrounds is astounding, and the logic is always the same: “I want both, but if I’m going to choose, I’d rather have an accountant that has to learn to work with data then a data scientist who doesn’t understand accounting/finance/business”

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.
