Hello, Everyone.

I’m transitioning from technical support to business analysis, leveraging my skills in Excel, Power BI, SQL, and data analysis, plus an Advanced Business Analytics certification. Applied to 1,200+ jobs with no luck—few interviews, but companies ghosted me despite follow-ups. Frustrating, but staying determined.

For those who made this switch:
✅ What helped you stand out?
✅ How did you handle setbacks?
✅ Any networking tips?

Would love your insights—thank you!

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
