Hey ppl! I would love some advice re: my situation. I was in a bootcamp sponsored by my employer; afterwards I was assigned to an agile team. However, for about a year now, I've had to join a 2nd bootcamp, purchase courses on Udemy just to get better at coding. I've gotten 100% better, but I don't have much to show for it professionally because I've been pigeon-holed. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to stand out to other employers so I can get a better job - where I'm included?

Yea, this is not cool and it’s easy to internalize this and to think there’s something wrong with you when there’s nothing wrong with your talents/skills. I went through something similar years ago. I had to shake it off and switch companies. I’ve been thriving ever since. In retrospect, I was with the wrong team and my talent was not used. Ever since I moved, I’ve flourished and have gotten more responsibilities. I don’t think the answer should be “train more” I think there will always room for improvement/learning but it’s all about the leadership and team.

Thank you for sharing this. Yes, often times, I do feel like it's me; I've gotten to a point where my moral and enthusiasm has plummeted. But your response gives me encouragement that I can grow and do well, I just need to go to a different company. I'm going to keep this in my pocket, thank you

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
