I have joined the org last year in August and want to go for my master's in 2022.

How should I ask my manager for letter of recommendation for Master's?

I am worried about the questions that they might ask about why master's and why i didn't inform during the during the interview process.

Suggestion appreciated.

Maybe discuss with your manager that you are planning to study further, and see how they react.

If the initial reaction is supportive then ask for the recommendation letter in a few days.

If not much supportive then you have to ask anyway, but that initial discussion would have already started the conversation.

Many thanks.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to
Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
