What are you doing to upskill? Do employers care about LinkedIn learning? Or are there other more reputable sources to get certificates from?

Real

Depends a lot on the employer. Those certificates, I think, are a great way to show you want to stay up to date or are willing to learn. However, if the role you are applying for asks for more formal certificates, that might be the way to go.

I have been taking some courses on Udemy to upskill. I think certs are great but I don't know if they really do anything to help job wise. I do think they help keep a person sharp though.

I’ve heard of Udemy but have never interacted with it. Do they provide something similar to LinkedinLearning, or is it more formal?

I have decided to become sort of a “super user” on one of the softwares we use. Attending webinars and are up to date with the current changes etc and that’s done wonders for how I’m viewed now!

I love this! Maybe I should be upping my Salesforce skills

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
