Hi 🐟, I'm in a bind and any advice is appreciated. I've spent all of my career (7 years) as a SAP Consultant. I constantly feel that I'm not living up to my potential and that I need to move into a more technical role. I need to choose a path:
1. Data Engineer/ Data analytics (have a MS in this area)
2. Software Eng (need to start from scratch but it's suitable for my introverted & creative nature & pays well)
3. Product manager (what I'm doing now in a tech & pays well)
4. Go deep into SAP

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense?

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?
