What are the better foodie - higher end dining experiences in New York?

What companies (other than Amazon) hire non-technical PMs?

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?

Have any of you made a switch after working for a few years? When I started undergrad I wanted to work with renewable energy. Not at all disappointed to be in aerospace but I want to explore a pivot. Something like wind or wave power seems like it would be much riskier but also has more room for innovation.

Can anyone refer me for job ID: 2226764 QA Team lead in Labcorp.

Aiming to transition from Finance to Analytics Consulting (think BCG Gamma): Would you recommend getting a Master’s degree in Business Analytics or Data Science? Undergraduate degree was also Finance and no prior programming experience.
