I want to pivot into the sustainability sector but I lack a formal degree in a related field and I have no experience volunteering or otherwise. Where should I start? I feel passionately about climate change and personally spend a lot of time learning/educating within my own spheres, but have been unable, due to personal circumstances, to really dedicate time to gaining concrete experience

I’m a data engineer/engineering manager by trade and massively screwed up by going into MBB consulting, I absolutely despise it and am looking to leave about 8 months in. I have a great offer from a fortune 50 for product management in tech at a similar salary, way more RSU’s but can’t shake off the thought that I wouldn’t be an engineer anymore. Any advice from you guys to help get past my anxiety and just pull the trigger?

I’m mid-level in my HR career at my current company and an upcoming Master’s graduate. Studying for my SHRM-CP too. How did you make the transition to that next level? What skills do you need, or is it really just based on YOE (I am the youngest compared to my teammates, many who have 10+ YOE)? I feel like career pathing is not very clear at my company. Each time I ask for guidance on this from my manager, I get told they’ll look into it.... would love some external mentorship and thoughts 🙏🏼

I have been with the same company for 20+ years. More or less the same role though I’ve had a few changes of location and many bosses over that time. I guess my question is, what can I do from here?

I’ve got 12 years left before retirement, hopefully, and I’d like to be in a more productive role where the ageism won’t be as much of an issue as I’m worried it will be.
