OT: Career advice Part II

[Chytilmania]

Three different companies? How??? I'm getting no interviews without external recruiters or referrals.

I'm hiring lol.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'm hiring lol.

Having options is great until you need to tell someone you really liked no. That always sucks.

Still better than the alternative though.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm hiring lol.

Oh misread that. In that case in NYC or remote by any chance? LOL

 

[NickyFotiu]

Had three promising interviews so far and a few more scheduled for this week. This is going to be a tough decision!

That is fantastic that you may have 3 good choices. That must feel great!

Long Island in person lol.

I might have to take a big pay cut (initially) and hire two people. But it would be very worth it 6 months from now. Tough decision.

Or I offer two part time positions but I don't think that's a good idea.

I think I mentioned this. I'm doing a Python certificate program. I really like it so far and because I'm not taking other classes and I'm unemployed I have been able to focus on it. If I get to intermediate level what avenues does that open for me, if any? My current experience is in corporate finance.

Business analyst?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Business analyst?

Holy shit that sounds junior.

 

[Kane One]

Holy shit that sounds junior.

I mean, you’re taking a Python certification course so I’m assuming you don’t have extensive software development experience if that’s something you’re looking to do.

Maybe a quant role depending on your finance knowledge? Just spitting some ideas

Nah, you're right it's just that business analyst sounds like something requiring 0-2 years of experience. But I don't have more than that anyway, so why wouldn't it be junior? Maybe I can utilize my python experience in my current career (corporate finance). Or maybe at some point I should do some software development degree. I feel like I'd be better at it than a lot of things. But I do wonder if I'm smart enough, lol.

If you are generally a logical person, you’re smart enough. So with your goalie takes, sorry dude.

Jk, you got this. The best skill is really knowing what to type into Google or ChatGPT. Pretty much knowing what questions to ask.

ChatGPT is great. I've been using it to help with my homework and then you can ask about any specific questions about the code. It's great.

It’s been a game changer
