I had an interview today and the hiring manager mentioned how he thinks I should be more in a creative field but understands why I’m in the corporate world ($ lol). I cannot shake this off - we talked for 40 minutes and he knows I’m a creative hiding behind data. Does ya girl need to quit corporate America and become an artist like 5 year old me wanted? Joe Biden couldn’t relieve me of my debt to even seriously consider this 😂

Anyway…

You can do your at as a hobby, doesn't need to be your career. I used to love design and now struggle to force myself to do it, mixing business and pleasure doesn't work for everyone

Oh for SURE! I don’t know if I could handle my creative blocks equating to no income, which lately has been frequent. I just thought it was funny someone saying this to me 😂

There is a world where you can do both, plenty of us have monetized our creative talents. I also work in corporate and make plenty of money, I also get to be super creative in my work.

Gd1 has a great point too, sometimes the things we love are better off just being some we do because we love to, not because we need to eat.

I have a side business I can be creative with! My 9-5 is very technical.

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
