I was hoping to be mentored throughout my trainee period. In fact my partner is barely around the office, and all my senior associates seem to only care about themselves. There's a feeling that I am not being nurtured enough to become a good lawyer, and I feel completely lost. Even though I have had this opportunity to meet clients and lead meeting with them and counterparts.

Is this a sign that it's not worth staying at this firm, or should I move to another one?

Are you being proactive and reaching out for feedback on projects and getting ignored? If so, then that place may not be a good fit. But if you are just waiting for them to come to you, you need to shift your perspective.

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
