I was in the same boat here in Boston at a pretty hot startup. AE or CS Manager. I felt him guiding me to AE with upside potential and I felt like preferring CS would make me sound lazy. I am an excellent CS guy and always a top sales guy,so I just went with AE.

Im still under consideration.

I would say to stick with the current company. You don't know what the market is going to be like in the future so these new companies can sink faster than anticipated

This would be an internal promotion

helpful

I would go for the internal promotion personally

AE typically has more $$$ upside,but every company is different. What are the base/OTE between the 2?

Hi,
I need some career guidance.
I have 6+ yoe in business intelligence(Qlik), SQL. Self taught python up to oops/pandas/re.
What's the best direction to take my career forward and transition into a better domain if possible?
Should I do some DS/ML or cloud(azure/gcp) courses? If yes, suggest some.
I get calls for python but they demand scraping & webdev(selenium/bs/django/flask) which I have no interest in.
Can someone guide?
Also, what are the best BI roles I can go for & how?
Thanks

Received an offer to lateral to a Big Law firm in my current state. Kind of my dream job. Recently decided with my spouse that we’ve had more than enough of our current state and we want to move out of state next year. There’s no local office for this firm where we’re going, and no idea if remote would be an option. Conflicted on whether it’s fair to take the position, although I really want it. Thoughts?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
