It really feels like I’m just waiting to get fired at any moment but applying everywhere aggressively. The waiting game sucks just to get an interview. Any tips?

Learn as much as you can while you are there. Network with everyone, ask people to lunch, and keep interviewing.

Why do you feel like you’re going to get fired at any moment? Are you underperforming or did someone tell you something?

Keep your visible attitude as a professional whose career is ready for the next step, not as a person looking to escape a bad situation.

Moving back to ATX from NYC early February of next year to be closer to family, and looking for a new job. Have 2.5 YOE in consulting (primarily financial services) and also did a data science boot camp this past summer. Does anybody know of any roles at the intersection of strategy and analytics? Alternatively, has anybody had a positive experience with an external recruiting agency?

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
