Hello Fishes,

When I initially installed the app on my phone, my first search was to see if there's any bowl dedicated to KM as a profession, and as a result of that, I took the initiative to start the conversation around the KM as a career here on Fishbowl. I request all of you to share your knowledge, thoughts, current roles, advice or anything else, which you think would be beneficial for people here.

I hope we will provide a dedicated channel to us KM professionals to discuss.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Signed the offer with a competitor, but multiple bosses tried to persuade me to stay with the planned growth opportunities in sight. Still decided to leave, and got "wishing you all the best". Guilty much, I love working with the team, but just want to get better progression and pay.

Anyone feels guilty in my shoes? Is returning to the firm a common scenario? Just worried that things might not work out in new firm

Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Hii All
How is dbs project in ibm for application developer in terms of wlb , growth etc.
TIA

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
