How hard is it to learn the fundamentals of Power BI from scratch, with no previous experience using it or coding knowledge? Like how long will it take me to feel basically competent with it? A couple hrs a week learning for a month?

I have never used Power BI until my role currently. It’s not too hard to pick up if you have a basic understanding of data/SQL/coding. Setting up relationships and DAX/writing measures is something I’m still learning on but you can definitely find a lot of help from online resources depending on what you’re using it for

I’m 21. Maybe I just got lucky, but working in Apple retail was an incredible experience. I was only there for 7 months, but it was enough time to know it’s a place filled with love and laughter.

I’m going to miss talking about Apple with people, but definitely not helping indecisive assholes try on 30 different Apple Watch bands; they can suck my balls.

I've been working at a government agency for 6 months, helping to stand up a new team. The job involves interacting with real estate developers.

I feel guilty, especially since I'd interact with my current team on the other side. It's a hard to turn down that salary, though I feel guilty since my team is thin, and it's only been 6 months!

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
