I’ve been trying to change careers for at least a year with no luck. I have a degree in math, completed the Google Data Analytics certification, and have a few years of professional experience. I’m also working towards completing another data analyst certificate through DataCamp. I can sometimes get interviews but nothing has led to an offer, even for entry level positions. Am I missing something?

In the running for an in-house position. Pay is more than I get now, but the title is a step down. I know it’s petty, but it’s tough to think about.

Yay or nay for listing foundational level certs of Cloud and Data on resume? 4 years of consulting exp in risk and data trying to exit to better roles.

Need your advice
At the moment I am a part of a public sector consulting practice which is a subsidy of Accenture. I am bored out of my brains though, im doing change management and even tho the WLB is good I have always had my heart set on tech and the start up space.

What should my next steps be?

Long shot but asking anyway: has anyone in here successfully moved into a European practice from the UK (as a non-EU citizen) post brexit either changing firms or as an internal transfer?

Is it possible? If so, how was the bureaucracy? Any regrets?

I am thinking of exploring this as the UK is becoming slowly more frustrating to live in. I speak fluent English, French and German and have a masters in European Political Economy as well as 3 YOE as a consultant so am not a complete chancer.

Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
