Honestly just choose whatever the company uses. Switching between them is easy once you're good at one. I'd recommend R for statistics heavy roles, and recommend python for deep learning heavy roles. And for everything else, I'd recommend whichever gets you done quicker..

Big4 are constantly building ‘tech-enabled’ groups throughout all their lines of business including Audit. Get into this side of their business, become a tech + data pro within those lines of business and use that to continue push the boundaries on analytics - from there you’ll have plenty of next step opptys

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
