Should I get my masters in data analytics? I am currently a marketing analyst at a CPG company and am thinking of heading more towards the data analytics avenue. I got my bachelors in Advertising and minored in Business. Not looking to be in agency life.

If you're set on pivoting deeper into data analytics, a master's could help, but experience and portfolio projects might get you further for less cost. Have you looked into certifications like Google Data Analytics or SQL courses? Maybe test the waters with real-world projects before committing to grad school!

It depends on your finances and your time. If you can afford it, and you can handle putting the time into it, it could be advantageous. But there might be thriftier ways to attain credibility in the field. Getting some certifications would not be a guarantee of getting a job. But it will show that you've done some work and you have a solid understanding of data analytics.

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

Just took delivery, and I’m already looking with pity at the rest of my pieces that don’t have a unique use or complication. Extremely comfortable everyday watch.

They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?
