Will I be able to exit into tech as a PM after a year or two in consulting?

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Tomorrow, I know I will be asked to continue pushing forward with pre planned campaigns that upsell products and services that to groups already in dire straits. After the events of this weekend, I ethically disagree with acting “business as usual”. I’ll raise this with my team, but I anticipate a crossroads with leadership (I am fairly new, younger, junior, woman POC to the org.) If this results and BAU does not change, is it more right to leave my job? Or stay where change is needed?

Hello fellow frequent fliers! Wife and I are stuck - we’re suppose to head to the UK in two weeks but have a feeling they might go back under restrictions / with so many cases we will likely catch covid and be there for extra time (test required to get back into the US) which wouldn’t be ideal so we’re brainstorming alternatives.

I can only focus with headphones and white noise playing. My attention span is nonexistent
