Can you first switch to a Data Engineering role at your current firm? Python helps there

Network you way over to partners (or one level below) in your data & analytics practice. Setup an 15 min call. Tell them what you are doing and what you are interested in. Be interesting and engaging. Remember you are SUPER INTERESTED in the kind of work they do. Offer to help with proposals and/or firm building projects for “free” (i.e. on top of your regular job). Knock it out of the park and over deliver. Ask them if they can help you transition to their practice. This tends to work.

Just wondering whether things will get better ever.

What I mean: are you going to take sides? How are you going to enforce your position in daily life?

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

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.
