Need some advice here. I am a fullstack developer with 5 yoe in Angular and Python. My aim is to crack FAANG companies.Now I got an offer from HSBC in a credit risk model monitoring role using Python.It is close to a data engineer role.
My question is that will it be a good idea to shift from development role to a model monitoring role if I want to move to FAANG in the future?Or does FAANG not prefer people who are not in core development roles?Amazon Microsoft Google Adobe PwC EY Citi Barclays JPMorgan Chase

Don’t overthink it, just do it! Sounds like you have a manager that values your professional growth!

You are most definitely worth it and if your manager didn’t think so, she wouldn’t be offering!!
Because people should always be proud and feel deserving? Noted
Be committed to success and deliver. This benefits the company so this is not charity
If they want you to do it, you should do it. They want an asset that has those skills.
Take the hint, get the knowledge, and don't LET it be a waste to you or them.

You are here to get everything out of EY that you can, just like EY will try to get all the work out of you. Don’t feel bad in the slightest. Get as many EY sponsored certs and courses as you possibly can
My company covered a cert for me that cost $8k lol you’re fine
Not sure why you feel so grateful and undeserving, unless the course is totally unrelated to your work. This is pretty normal for most companies. If they ask you to take a course, it is because it probably will improve your effectiveness at work. They should pay for it and it should be done on company time. There is normally a training budget set aside for each headcount. My work used to also have a yearly budget for books, so I could order any books and get reimbursed for them.
This was not where I thought it was going after the first sentence. Your boss should never ask you to shell out hundreds of bucks for something work related, and since it’s part of your job, it shouldn’t occupy vacation days. This is totally standard, it’s not like they’re going out of the way to be generous. But hey, if you’re happy, I’m happy.

OP your confidence is greatest skillset for life, never lose that. I am sure you are worth it.
Is that a course you even want to do and would pursue on your own even if work didn’t pay for it?? If not, it’s not worth it (IMO). Otherwise, don’t feel bad about a giant like EY paying $800 for your development. They’re making waaaaaay more money off you than you’re paid.
I mean its pretty standard for companies to send their people to courses. No reason to feel grateful. A 800 dollar investment in their own staff is such a low bar.
I did one that cost around 5k and out in my notice the week after.
There is no reason to feel undeserving. In the end the manager is going to expense it for work.
The fact that you feel undeserving is your 'imposter syndrome' or the fact that today's generation doesn't feel like they take anything without feeling bad about it.
Your manager suggested because it's be good for your growth. Period. they are investing in you! You need to take ahold of these opportunities and run with it
Have some self confidence!!! If you’re manager wants to put you through free trading than obviously you are amazing at your job! No manager would be content at issuing/losing time with training unless they loved the employee
Imposter syndrome is real… you are so worth it! You will be great!
There's a saying - if "if" was a fifth*, we would all be drunk. Don't waste your mental energy or time. Go forth and conquer this opportunity! Make your manager proud and his/the company's investment worthwhile. Cheers! 🥂

Don’t let her down then
Do you think your manager spends as much thought on every hour you work on weekends or late at night?
I doubt it. Don't give a f*ck. We're living in a world where we close contracts with our employers, and its EXPECTED that we will deliver more than agreed. Employers are systematically making fools of us and cheat to ignore the law as much as they can. They steal from employees all the time! Thousands of euros a year.
So, now they give you 800 bucks back to make you better, so they can steal even more from you? And you whine like a baby? WTF is wrong with you guy? 😂
I definitely should stop texting during board meetings. I totally agree with you, the bad vibes kinda echo in my reply 😂
I hope it was already said here, but if not: Understand that we aren’t perfect, get confused, struggle with difficult work, and don’t always have the answers. Develop confidence and always treat these learning opportunities as a way to give you added perspective where others don’t have a similar experience. Valuing the experience and actively learning from it will put you leagues ahead of people who just go through the motions.
You deserve even if you let her down! My manger gave me a similar opportunity then I failed the exam! I was devastated, embarrassed, felt guilty all the emotions. But the comeback was real! Give yourself a chance, the road me be bumpy but keep going and be thankful for sponsors!! And when it’s your turn you do the same!!
Your attitude is commendable, but if you make the most of this course and really apply yourself then you are definitely worth it!
