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.

Hi fishes,
How's the interview process in Infosys for data analytics role? How I can prepare myself for that? And, how much I can ask considering my YOE is 2 years and current profile devops.

Still trying to get a shot at a post house or something similar! I have experience but I’ll start even as an intern or EP assistant! It’s been rough. A creative for a while- wrong path! ❤️ production

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.
