I graduated 2 months ago with a BA in Digital Communications with a minor in technical writing, and have been successfully employed for 3 years already doing CSR/Inside sales/ product marketing for different startups.

However, I’m extremely sad. I had to scrape and work 2 jobs to pay for college and my degree so chose something “easy” that way I wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Now looking back I wish I did Biology or Chemistry or Medical. Any way to get into a masters in science with this path?

Doubtful, but what about something else related, like a Masters in Health Communication? Just trying to think of alternatives so you don't have to go back and earn another degree.

I am planning to shift to Data Analyst/Data scientist role. Right now i work for a project where I'm a software eng & we have to maintain our application on C++ code. It is more like support/dev and unit testing combined. Coding is hardly involved and my hold on DS is weak so not sure if I'll be able to crack technical interviews for C++ dev or anything similar.
So is this a right decision to move from application dev role to Data Science/analyst field? Does software engineer gets paid more?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

JP Morgan Chase & Co. Investigations @ when offer an internship or actual employment be sure to not lie about your work experience or internships, they really go deep and if they find any issues they will fail you and you won’t ever be able to work for JPMC ever! So be honest, a humble advice for all :)
