I need help on deciding what position to take. I current have 2 offers on the table. One is a business systems analyst position dealing with Agile and project management. The other is a Technical Business Analyst dealing with PowerApps, Power Automate, SharePoint and Agile. Which position could open doors to more options in the future?

Do you want to go down the project management path?

Then go for the offer that takes you to that path!

PowerApps for sure is a good platform to learn right now. MS has a huge investment in making their PowerPlatform - BI, Automate and Apps- a success, and you can expect good growth in the future.

I'd say the Technical Business Analyst is more likely to get you further along in your career?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Check me here: other side attorney has already reached out to me directly via email saying that an LOI is coming… Then, she sends the LOI addressed to my client, and CC:s me only.
