Hiya…..I have £500 to spend on professional development. Need to spend it by Jan 22nd. Any suggestions on what sustainability related topic I could spend it on? I can supplement this with my own cash but would prefer not to spend too much. TIA for any ideas 👌🤝🙏

Thanks. My focus is predominantly E and G but I have a passion for S. I work at a fintech and come from a background in international aid having worked at the UN and on large corporate CSR partnerships.

We’re facing large redundancies so I will unfortunately be let go soon hence looking to spend my budget before I leave.

FCA Qual is a great idea though - cheers!

Can you use it to buy climate books? Honestly have found them more relevant than online courses

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
