How in demand are salesforce skills? Or even Six sigma? Currently have my green and am thinking of going to get the black. As for salesforce, I get a huge discount on the skills classes and testing.

Not sure about Salesforce but I have my six sigma black belt. I’ve had 2 projects that the client asked for it but it was never really used. Guess it depends if you just need to have it to check the box to get on a project

I have my black belt and haven’t found it useful or in high demand. Salesforce definitely is if you’re in that area of consulting.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
