Is there anyone with Master’s in psychology with concentration in forensic psychology? Do you use your degree? What kind of work is specific for your degree?

Usually MA's don't specialize, except in clinical psychology. If you're interested in forensic work, you'll need to do a PhD.

I just finished my MSc Forensic Psych. It is highly dependent on where you're located. I completed mine in the UK and have to complete another 2 years of training to be registered as a forensic psych. You don't have to go this route and can rather go into various civil service jobs such as safeguarding officer, key worker for ex-convicts, victim support. You can also apply to prison jobs such as interventions specialist, facilitator, group coordinator etc. This field is incredibly competitive though so you'll need to volunteer and get distinctions to stand out.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction.

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
