I’m a business analyst and I recently learned sql. I found it to be quite interesting. It’s making me want to transition into a more technical role, which is something I’ve always been interested in but never knew which area to focus on. I’m thinking of enrolling into a bootcamp or something similar and hopefully getting into more of data analyst roles. Any programs or boot camps you recommend? I was also considering a part time masters but not sure I can commit with how many hours I work.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏
