I’ve always been cautious about sharing too much personal information with my colleagues at work. I'm curious to know if it's possible to form lifelong friendships with people you meet at work?

I, too, do not share too much information with work colleagues. Despite that, I have become and remained friends with my former boss that I worked with 25 years ago, and another colleague that I worked with 25 years ago, and remain in touch even if we all live in different countries.

Good morning, hope everyone is having a great week! Does anyone have any advice on breaking into an analyst role? I am currently a Senior Customer Success Manager, with a background in Operations/Process and Project Management as well. I have always enjoyed the analysis pieces of my roles and would love to expand my skills to show how qualified for a position in data analytics. Thank you in advance for the help!

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
