I’m thinking perhaps starting with the goals you’re looking to achieve now that it’s here.
Personal/Professional growth?

What are you implementing that can help you run a smooth ship?
Have you chatted with your team to see what the strengths/weaknesses of the group is and what things they feel need to be removed and or improved upon?
Do they even work well together?
Maybe you might need to move somethings around?

Sometimes you get overwhelmed at the thought of engaging but give yourself that nudge. You’re in that role for a reason.

I’m sure the check and perks are kickass but how are you going to take that opportunity to propel yourself and or your team into new challenges that keep them interested and producing good work.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello Fishes,
Just a little weird question, suggestions will be helpful.
My cousin wants to enter into the IT industry but his graduation is from non Tech (B.A). So I have suggested him to persue and MBA in IT or MCA may be from distance learning will also help.
Please give suggestions which will be the most feasible way to enter the IT industry, given that he is financially not much sound but he is very smart and hardworking.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
