Hi. Im a business analyst in Dentsu. What is the natural next career step and any suggestions regarding new skills that I need to learn?

I have a reinforcement ML algorithm that reads historical data for a stock and tries to make a prediction on its future price. The training data is 20 years of daily indicators and the evaluation is 1 year while the testing data is also 1 year. My problem is that it takes the algorithm almost 12 hrs to make one full run through a training session on my MacBook. I also tried with google colab pro using their gpus and tpus but they’re only slightly faster. Is there any way to speed this up?

Transplants, what prompted you to move here?

Super curious to understand commission structures for those in tech solution sales. What’s your base comp? What % of GM hits your bottom line? I’m currently at 95k base, realizing 8% at an estimated 40% GM. Unsure if this is a competitive structure.

Has anyone got their rating and Progression/Promotion news communicated?

If you could update the 10 commandments, what would you add?

Those who work with multiple service lines, how do you manage expectations and workload? I like my time to be 50/50 but it never seems to work out that way.

About to start my first PM job after consulting. Any tips to get myself prepared and ramp up quickly? Books to read, courses to take, etc.? Currently doing ops consulting, no tech background.

What project management tools do they use in Pharma?

Looking for a monthly parking pass around the fulton river west area (near the Jewel on Des Plaines). If anyone knows of a place that has availability or aren’t using their pass that I can rent, let me know!

Hi Fishes, can anyone confirm whether Accenture provides advances/ loans to its employees?

When you calculate net worth do you include the FMV of your house or just your equity in the house (FMV minus outstanding loans)?

Can I please get 11 likes. I need it to DM.


THANKS ☺️

Does anyone have advice/ experience with disclosing or advocating for your ADHD support needs in highly toxic environments? Or getting formal disability accommodations?

I’m on a VERY toxic project where I really need accommodations but I am scared there will be repercussions if I personally disclose my ADHD like I have on past projects.

I submitted an HR request for accommodations and it’s been ignored for over a week.

I really can’t take another week of spending every day crying.

Completely screwed up a final round interview on Friday. Oh, well. I’ll have to step it up next time.

FAANG vs smaller tech firms (Linkedin, eBay etc)?

I got accepted into UPenn’s MCIT online program. Currently unemployed (6 months) and actively interviewing for PM roles. I’m expecting a remote PM offer but also debating whether I should study part time and work full time OR just go full time and finish quickly. I know UPenn attracts faang/maang companies which are my target companies.

As a woman, does going full time study delay my career progression given I was out of work force for 6 months already? I have 6 yoe as PM
