I am currently working as a “data analytics consultant” - basically sat in between tech and consultancy. I learn a lot of technical skills with the added benefit of client interaction. Because of this, I feel like I am neither solely consultant or a pure data analyst. Going forward, I think I want to specialise in either strategy consulting or as a data analyst in a tech firm - does anyone have any advice on what path to take? The pros or cons of either?

I’m an analytics consultant too and I feel the same way. But I know for a fact I want to head toward the data analyst/scientist at a tech firm route so I’ve been getting certs, building my portfolio, and plan on going back to get my MS in either computer or data science

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
