Is it worth pursuing further education if you're already a SCM with some employment history? Make any difference to have secondary education or certs?

Having certs is always a plus. Any kind of secondary education is good to have, but I would make sure that it pertains to your field.

It depends what your goals are and what Industry you are after. In some, a BA + certs is enough. But in Pharma for example , you’ll need minimum a MA, and certs will definitely solidify the resume.

If you're happy with your current position and don't see yourself moving up in the near future, then further education may not be necessary. But if you're looking to advance your career, then further education can help you to qualify for more senior positions.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
