Any podcasts, book recommendations on diplomacy strategies at work? My mindset is not very political, so cannot see offense coming to me when someone is crossing me over or sidelining me. Also I don’t like being nosy or overstepping but have definitely being on the receiving end. Tired of people who just keep mansplaining, interrupting thinking they are the smartest! I am a polite person, or at least I think I try to be respectful of all. But at the same time I don’t want to be playing victim.

"Data Scientist", Azure shop, 5y experience. Been stuck doing python dev/client team augmentation for the last 18 months (several clients).

So demotivated+disillusioned, does anyone in consulting actually do DS projects? - this is the same reason I left my last role, 6 months of interesting work and then endless dev work. Predictive models are dangled just out of reach to stop us quitting.

No longer feel qualified to apply for actual DS roles outside because I've not done any ML in so long.

You get an offer for a much smaller firm that is a higher risk but will offer new challenges, new work and a new city. Do you stay another 6 months and survey the landscape then or go?
