Article subtitle says it all: It’s become fashionable to claim that other countries hate the U.S. Having traveled the globe for three years, I can tell you: That’s absurd.

Yes indeed, I have a couple mentors and they are great people to have in my life, for both professional and personal development. One of my mentors I met organically, the other one formally. So IMHO the two best ways I know to find mentors

It's a good question, yet I would propose the question itself is limiting. Being efficient includes being accurate and correct, as much as possible, over and over again, and such skills are developed with consistent practice, not with

For several of the companies I do hiring for, we focus on how well a person fits for the job. We're not concerned about the location of the person, as long as no time zone issues or legal issues with payment come up. That being said, t

To your questions #3 and #5, my suggestions would be threefold: 1. If you decide to switch to data engineering, talk with your professional network, and grow your current network, to find the new role. It can be pretty tough to change role

Consider this, a crucial element of business is risk management. People and companies who don't wish to manage a particular risk will choose to outsource it. For example, by paying an insurance company $x per year, I can be pretty conf

Aside from the basic profile tips (such as https://www.cleverly.co/blog/how-to-optimize-your-linkedin-p... ) in my view it's worthwhile to speak with a professional career coach or mentor (I'm a career mentor

I don't see a clear "why" for fixing this explained in the post. Yet if we assume this should be fixed, how should the community fix this? Has this been discussed at the appropriate standards bodies and conferences?

A few things come up for me, as well as friends who I talk with: 1. Clear separation of work space and home space. Yes, a separate room can help with this, yet physically going somewhere for work feels more effective for me. 2. Connecting w
