Yeah I’m in PWC risk assurance. Digital accelerator is pushing alteryx and hearing more about it being a useful tool for everyone

Sorry, I’ll actually answer your question here:
If you are staying in the IT world (that’s RA right?), then learn some basics on how technology works. OS (Linux - go install it a few times from scratch, command line), DB (install, build a basic DB that does something - I dunno, track daily high/low temps), application service (go run tomcat or Apache or something basic), program something (python, PHP, etc).

Personally I’ve found that “running” a stack like this helps me gain perspective and helped me provide client service 🤷‍♂️

Alteryx is a funny animal. Lots of tools can do the same for much much much much much much cheaper, but require more technical skills - like software dev, etc. but business units love the tool because it cuts IT out (bad idea tbh, but whatevs)

Are you finding people are actually buying it? My co has some licenses, but I don’t see it expanding, no matter how much PwC pushes it 😉

Alteryx can connect directly to most data sources as well

I’ll echo Alteryx / UiPath / Tableau, and recommend Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and Learn Powershell in a Month of Lunches

I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
