Are you building an analytics crash course?

Shall we team up to make a life sci analytics crash course that I may or may not be building?

Yes I am!!! I’m going to DM you.

No.
A week course for early career, yes. Your framing makes me concerned that it offers too much of a guarantee for a general track. Even a week-long intense course in analytics will be challenged by a junior's inexperience applying external knowledge to a different dataset. In terms of content, you would likely be constrained to tools or high-level vertical industry knowledge. In either case, the expertise wouldn't be imparted.

Good point. One miscommunication…I somehow omitted “excel” course from the title. The context would be analytics, but the real purpose is to learn how to use and apply excel. Not just a random list of function, but an actual learning framework to get over the steep learning curve. My goal would be to enable people to be fully self sufficient at learning more excel after the course. They should have a mental schema, a language, and some intuition.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
