"Best" is relative, but a strategy or product leadership role in a Fintech is probably what most "fish" would recommend as the best option. Outside of Fintech, FS itself is so big, it's really about who you're working with/for vs the company itself.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
