Tip. As in all things, ensure you keep a good work/life balance.

I agree with the previous comment. If you do not have a balance between profession and personal life you will burn out quickly! Also, it’s important to build relationships with your students.

Just keep in mind a position is not guaranteed and you need to have support from your admin by taking on leadership positions within your school. Your Principal and AP should be your main references who can personally comment on your leadership style and strengths. I would suggest you speak with your subject area coordinator for leadership opportunities within your district department. Good Luck!

Agree with Maryland MS. Administrative jobs can be political. Know what your chances are before investing your time unless you are willing to move from your district.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

What would you say are the best combination of skills for software engineering now?

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant. I’m eagerly looking to transition to good challenging opportunities in life science consulting/analytics and allied domains. Which organisations/startups/roles should one apply to being a non-technical applicant with a masters in biotechnology?

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!
