What are some professional development courses you’re taking or are on your radar? I’m looking at one from Google on AI. Figured I should finally dive into that further. Any others that we should be thinking about taking? How often do you to pro dev on your own time?

I tend to do more skills-based tutorials than personal development courses. I like being able to do them on my own time. I find it hard to carve out the time for immersive development training, and much prefer working in fits and spurts on individual skills.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
