What’s the requirements?

I think a master’s degree would be the easiest way to pivot. You need to know math, stats and coding.

Been in a regional public accounting firm - risk advisory/internal audit for 4ish years now. I like the work but the pay is terrible. I see seniors making a whole lot more than me. Feel like I'm overworked and massively underpaid. Thinking of switching jobs, but still debating on whether to stay in public accounting or move to industry. Any advice/thoughts?

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

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
