Hello- looking for advice on a career pivot and location change.

Practicing attorney for 3 years, commercial real estate. Enjoy CRE, tired of legal work. Hoping to pivot and spend some time abroad- ideally in the UK. It looks like a good way to do so is through an MBA or MSC there.

This seems like a good opportunity to pivot, and spend some time abroad to test the waters/see if staying long term is really viable. Added benefit of doing MBA there is the student visa.

Thoughts?

Would love to get some advice. I am currently a program manger and lead two amazing female project managers. I am looking into make a career change and hoping to either get into data analytics or finally bitting the bullet and doing a coding boot camp to get into software engineering. I know I want to be a people manger in the future, does anyone have advice on being a data lead vs Eng lead ? I worry I’ll constantly feel undermined since it tends to be heavily male dominated

I just found out that I passed the 4th CPA exam!!! I want to reward myself with (among other things) a nicer laptop bag.

Can anyone recommend a cute and VERY spacious bag? I’ve been too busy studying on top of everything else I have to do in life to keep track of what is “in.” Any suggestions?

I hired a start up tech company for the company I currently work for and have for the past 10 years. I love my current company but the money and rate of growth I need isn’t there anymore. I could excel with this tech company, I think I would love it, I know I would rock it. Is it unethical to pursue a position with the tech company?

Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.
