Stay on my current project through July 31st for the best chance at my consultant promotion, or take my April roll off date for an LLP project out of AFS, and risk delaying the promo...

Misread your post originally, but transferring out of AFS is its own promotion. Trust me

Best chance is overrated. Do what you gotta do while you are on the project. You got this.

Best chance for promotion doesn't mean much. There's lots of variables. And depending on if you want your long term career to be working in LLP industries, take the chance out of AFS

AFS isn't shitty. It comes down to personal preference. Some people like the slower paced projects with not as much travel in AFS. So it's a choice

Work life balance tends to be much better in AFS. It depends what type of work you like to do too and the client. The federal business is also growing, so there is a lot of opportunity for promotion.

F' AFS. It's a looking proposition. Do the job that gets you promoted so you have more flexibility to do what you want later.

Wait AFS is that shitty?

Actually AFS promos tend to be faster I think, but I've never heard of anyone doing anything interesting for AFS

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized? Not actual work product or drafts, but the kinds of things you jot down in meetings or as you’re working (e.g., “client prefers DE choice of law over NY” or “x agreement is best example of negotiated MSA”). I’m using OneNote, but I’m curious how others do it.
