Easiest in is to learn sql which I think is the most basic form of learning the data. You can probably learn the most basic form of sql for data processing in about 20-25 hours imo. Udemy courses go on discount a lot for like 10-15$.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

Most titles I've found interesting are along the "medical assistants" role, but don't fit the bill cause I don't have an MA license
