I have a BS & MS in Mathematics, however I've been teaching in HGH School for 10 years. I decided I don't want to keep teaching and I was considering Data Science/Analysis or anything similar.

Would you you recommend taking the Google Certification? Do a Masters in Data Science? Any advice would be appreciated.

MS in DS would help big time: giving you exposure and the network. Do go for reputable school though.

I would start with cheap alternatives to learn online first and try to recruit/ network in the meantime too

Thank you!!

I wouldn't bother with a masters. Just learn the code and make a project. Pick up DS math.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.
