Is getting a master’s in data analytics worth it? Would I be able to transfer over to advisory from tax after I finish it, or would I have to switch firms?

Try to transfer internally. Talk to your coach

I'd argue stay in tax and be a super star. I do tax D&A and it's a great skillset. Idk if you need a master degree. Power BI is free for desktop and has great tutorials online. Power Query exists inside Excel as a free add in. Both are a good introduction into D&A. On top of that you can learn more technical things online for a much lower cost. Check out Udacity for their nanodegree

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip. She will trash talk her employees with other employees and once her toxic garbage starts to leak amongst us peons she will send a group text telling us all to stop spreading rumors and to stop being bullies like she isn’t the mean kid with a magnifying glass torturing ants for no reason. I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!
