was it worth it? The profession is moving into more technical areas. I'm wondering if it would be beneficial salary-wise and in terms of better chances of promotions if I were to do something like a coding boot camp and learn R and Python. Anyone have similar stories or know of such transitions?

I moved from Tax to a data scientist role within PwC as a result of a coding bootcamp TA gig. I enjoy the work a lot more.

That's awesome. Can you share a bit more about the transition and the boot camp experience? Is any of the knowledge learned in tax useful for your current role?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
