Was initially pissed I didn’t get into the strategy team as an analyst and was rather put in cloud engineering. Now, two years in and the exit ops are much better than I’d expected and paying much more $ than pure strategy roles.

How hard is it to break into cloud? Been doing “strategy” work for DOD clients for most of time at Deloitte, but worried I have no hard skills and exit ops are minimal.

Any suggestions on how to get started?

Not sure which level you’re at but if you have a technical undergrad, it’s not difficult. For learning, certain online courses and a couple personal projects will do. Once you have a base knowledge, consider getting certifications. Certifications increase exit ops by a lot.

Yeah cloud is great, more money and better hours than strategy. I should have made different life decisions 😂

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it?

So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
