Good evening.
I finished my Bcom in 2015 and will only start my CTA in 2022. Now,I have been working all these past years in a private firm and have gained a bit of experience. I would like to go the SAICA route and I have found an alternative route that does not include me doing my articles. I am now 25(1 child) and would like to find out if it's advisable to find articles and quit current job or just go on to do CTA and find work elsewhere afterwards?

What would you advise?

Any tips to get smarter about analytics and better at critical thinking as I get more senior in my role?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

I have set a target of completing ~1000 leetcode problems within this time. Will it be sufficient? What other resources do you recommend?
Also, how to get interviews outside of college placements as a fresher?

Thanks

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

I think my brother is an idiot when it comes to his dating life. He recently started dating someone that the whole family loves - really down to earth, great personality, educated, hot and has a career. I just found out my bro is cheating on her with his ex (who is toxic/manipulative, stole money from my mother & doesn’t have a job or trying to get one). From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead
