Hiya - relatively new fincrime analyst here almost a year on the job, but am wondering whether anyone had any recommendations for pivoting into tech/where to go? Currently also studying a part time MSc in CompSci and have been stonewalled in terms of progression/learning opportunities and am just wondering if anyone had any advice?

Consider Data Analytics or Data Science. That’s seems like a great path with your CompSci MSc. I’ve just transitioned into Data Analytics from a finance background. I am currently still working in finance as a Data Analyst. Easiest stepping stone to get into the field since I have the background. The primary language used for Data Analytics is SQL. And for Data Science- Python (industry) or R (academia). So def look into those and see if they interest you!

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
