Hello Ladies :) I am a recent BBA graduate. I’m thinking of shifting my career to tech. I’m specifically interested in Data Science. I don’t have a STEM background. I’m not sure if bootcamps are worth it. Or should I straight away pursue a masters degree in data science?

Don’t view it as a shift. View it as an add-on. Data Science + BBA is a big career plus. You do need to build some credibility in the DS field to know the basics of what you’re talking about. Talk to a professor in the DS field to get their take on it

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years.

She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant
