I’m a program analyst in DC that’s done mostly ticket creations, manual excel data entry/reporting, deliverables and administrative duties. I feel like I am stuck in my role and my project unfortunately does things old school dated ways. We don’t use systems that I know many firms use today & I feel like I’m stuck & can’t advance. Im 30 yrs old & would really like the opportunity to work for a firm that helps with building a persons development. I’m dying to learn and grow, any suggestions pls?

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?
