Hey all, I’m trying to understand what skills I can acquire to move up in my career in my supply chain. I have done a general business degree and have about 1-2 years of experience. Still unsure how to specialize and where to navigate towards for future. What area has most growth in supply chain and what industry should I position myself in? Would you recommend a masters? Grateful for all the help and would love to have a private chat if you have the time. Thank you

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

I was wondering if anyone in this group is or knows about groups to support attorneys who are/have been suspended and how to handle it with life. Frankly the state bar isn't a good resource and it's starting to impact my career in not practicing the law. I've been working for a non attorney job in my company for years and was recently told my suspension means I'd never get it. Boy that was a blow that triggered depression and anxiety, still there as it's been less than a year week.
