Having a difficult time trying to break into Product management / FAANG corporation. I have a BS/MS engineering with 2.5 YOE in R&D engineering and 1 year in Tech Sales selling commercial products, booking $6million in Y1.

I've submitted a bunch of MBA apps to try and use the OCR there to transfer, but would like to pivot without taking $200k in debt if possible. Any advice?

Hi all,
I’ve recently transitioned from Travel Customer Service role (8 YOE) to Analyst in the same LOB. Earlier I resolved travel queries through calls/emails, but now my role is to analyse travel spending on Amex cards. Now I want to remain in analysis field and grow. I currently only use SQL, Power-BI and MS-Suite. What should I learn further? Which tools or is there a course I should do? I’ve only done Graduation and thinking of doing PGDM in Data Analytics or BI.
Any suggestions?

I am a career litigation associate making the switch to corporate. I'm only two years out of law school, but my focus through school and now has always been on litigation. The change in direction is due to an opportunity that presented itself that I felt I could not turn down. The team I'm joining has stated a number of times that they are excited to train me and expect a learning curve.

Any tips on making the switch? For context, I'm joining a midsized firm with a general corporate practice.

What advise do you have moving forward with a career. I left my employer after18 yrs in June. my boss was laid off before covid, they didnt post his job for 2 years.
