I’m a back end team lead and I’ve been playing data guy (sql, scripting, admin) for a few months now on my project. I’ve been trying to laterally move to analytics for a while just because I like seeing numbers move fast, so now that I’m halfway there, what else do I need to learn? I’ve got full stack dev, SQL, Python, R, SAP reports, VBA, a little bit of the Apache pipeline stack, Power BI all under my belt. What’s that missing piece to move smoothly into data without taking a salary hit?

Anyone know anything about trying to work in house in certain industries? I’d like to move into media (publishing, entertainment, etc.) because I don’t want to stay in law forever but am having a hard time connecting to the right people

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

I am on stage 4 of the hiring process for a job as a Sr Art Director for a CPG brand. I was given a project to develop a product launch. The directions are vague. There are so many ways I could take the project but I’m curious what kind of outline and level of depth you expect from a project like this? I was planning on doing research separately & share so they can see what I normally do, and then a deck showing visuals, mood boards, and messaging ideas etc. Does that seem right?
