As a caveat to the above - if you got a sign on bonus, double check your employment contract. You may be obligated to pay it back if you leave before a certain amount of time

Depends on the experience the HF is looking for, how much you’ve learned, and whether or not you’re a good fit. It all varies, nothing’s for certain. And as stated above, you’re allowed to leave whenever

Recruiters are lazy, they like seeing a 2 year minimum wherever you work, otherwise you need a good story to tell on why you left. if you do leave before 2, be sure it’s going to be for 3+ years.

Currently studying for the DP-100 exam. Any tips/tricks for studying? I'm currently using the MeasureUp practice test, taking a Udemy course, and looking through the self paced study material.

MeasureUp: a lot of really obscure questions and the documentation references aren't great.

Udemy & Self-Paced Doumentation: very high level and the practice questions are too easy. I could answer most without following the material.

Also, there isn't a lot of overlap between the study materials.

For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?
