Which of these options are better for career advancement and exit opportunities? 1) Working exclusively on proposal responses and development 2) Working exclusively on delivery projects.

Let's assume we don't get to do both.

Proposal winning will get your far in consulting but the best skill in consulting would be the ability to be a named resource requested by a client for an engagement because it means you were able to sell something to an external client

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

YOE vs title as a data analyst.
When doing research on job board websites, the actual “data analyst” title seems to be more entry level and “senior data analyst” seems to be more 3/4 + years of experience.

My question is: Are there any data analysts out there without the ‘senior’ in their title with more than 3 or 4 years of experience? / In your opinion, what separates those without the ‘senior’ in their title from others (YOE may not be all of it).

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Tech-confession: Went back to being a Tech leader in Industry from a Tech consultant (SM) in a big4 earlier this year and had forgotten all about all night long deployments. This past weekend was a rude reminder. Stayed up all night to troubleshoot servers, deploy files and monitor performance with the team.

In comparison, consulting was literally so cushy.

However, as a benefit, I now get to use Visual studio more than powerpoint.
