I’ll also add that I’m seeing a lot on ServiceNow right now. If you’re not interested in technical stuff, Change Management is almost always a good bet, as is the PMP.

Thanks, definitely looking toward more of the non software/specialized data skills. Thoughts on risk management?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
