I've been teaching English as a second language online for two years now, and while I don't have my full teaching degree I have taken enough classes that it wouldn't be too much work for me to finish it. Is it a good idea to try and become a regular English teacher? Or should I stay with TEFL where I can make more money?

Hi Sharks,

Can some experienced product manager guide me and PPL like me here on this fish bowl a step by step plan to achieve this goal. What courses we can join, what books to read

I'm so over all of it. Need an exit strategy.

How many people get promoted to S1 from A2? Didn’t do well in A1.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
