I believe we are getting there however i believe we are still several years away.

Oh I would say 5 years and not much more. There is already so much happening, it's just a matter of getting the costs down in manufacturing them and having enough resources to troubleshoot and manage. If a company has the resources it ends up being cost efficient, but there's a huge barrier to entry on that.

Not very soon. I think it will take a couple more years. But for sure it will happen int he future.

I can totally see it happening five years from now. But I don't think I'm ready for how it will affect delivery workers.

I think Amazon's already preparing to debut their drone deliver service. They said it will be ready in 2024 and could be making regular deliveries after a decade.

I'm thinking 5 to 10 years from now. But I don't know, I could be wrong. With today's technology, everything is possible.

They have been talking about this since 2020. But I don't think we are somewhere near. Give it at least 10-15 years.

It is very possible to happen anytime soon. You know how advanced our technology is. I'd say 5-10 more years.

Good morning fellow fish!

For the last year or so I (24m) have felt the desire to move on from my current company for a few different reasons:

1. The industry/company doesn’t captive/inspire me
2. I do not see a desirable career ladder over the next 5-10 years
3. The work is moving further away from the things I enjoy (analysis, business/strategy, metrics/reporting)

I’ve started to prepare for a job search, but I don’t know what I want to do so I’m almost scared to start. Any advice?
