Was talking to a few colleagues about improvement… Has anyone taken any courses or read any books that have added significantly to the development of their work or themselves?

"The war of art" (Pressfield), "Making ideas happen" (Belsky), "How to make friends and influence others" (Carnegie). 3 must reads. Also "Save the cat" is a great book to understand how to tell a story. Also, I'd recommend to read some stuff about the Merrill-Reid personality styles because he helped me to become more socially adapted by recognizing what type of ahole I was working with 🙈

Assuming @Wunderman1 means the Bible in the way that it is a great example of hugely successful marketing propaganda that succeeded in brainwashing millions of people into spending money on their brand while simultaneously weakening their constitution such that they felt like they needed said brand to avoid going o hell. Brilliant fucking marketing, otherwise a travesty paved with good intentions.

Has anyone ever made the jump from consulting to being a full time creative?

Recently I've realized that consulting isn't what I wanna do, but more broadly idk if a 9-5 business job is for me either. I've always wanted to make films and write books but I rarely see anyone in our industry make this kind of jump. Also finances 🥴

Overall I'm just not sure if I can see myself doing this for the next 30 years

Hi Fishes, need your help here. I have been in TCS for 3.5 years now in Ignio support team for an E&R account. I aspire to work in BigData technologies so took release from the project this month. I have been preparing myself through Udemy but don't have any hands-on experience in BigData. Reporting to RMG currently but got just 1 relevant call from a project. Unfortunately, they were looking for an experienced person. Will I be considered in any account for a fresher role in BigData?
