Got promoted recently to Business (Operations) Manager. Still figuring out how to make an impact in this role. Any advice from seasoned professionals? What would you focus on, which info would you collect to make a “plan of attack” if you would start this job at a new company? Thanks

If not clear from promotion process speak to your up line.

- have you done a review of the area / processes / systems across the business?
- what’s the objective of the business over the next 6-12 months and beyond?
* if scaling what’s potentially holding you back from exploding (in a good way!)

- are you managing staff? Do you actually know what they all do. I’ve always found it useful to liaise regularly with your team / people / mangers

- this about the connection across teams - do finance know what sales are doing and vice versa.

Lots that can be done here. DM me if you fancy a chat. Would have to be next week now but always open to helping 👍🏼

Hi! I think it depends on the org and priorities. Have you been in this group for long? Or are you new? I’d focus on relationships and understanding the field. What are the pain points? What works? What’s inefficient? Once you understand these nuances - I think you’d be in a good spot for laying out your proposals. Also if you have a team - delegate, delegate, support.

Hello All,

I am currently working as Talend ETL Developer. Company which I am working currently doesn't have projects for this skillset. Need some suggestions. Which technology is good now in current market similar to the skills which I am having. So I will be upskilling me in that technology.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
