Reach out directly to recruiters on linkedin after you find a role you think you are qualified for. Mention that you have those skills (BI, SQL, etc.). The fact that you have an accounting/business background coupled with the data strengths should make you a pretty desirable candidate assuming you're not a spazz. Most data people arent business savvy at all and show up to work in Star Wars t-shirts and just do what they are told. If you have both skills then you can climb the ranks pretty easily.

Dont waste time throwing resumes into the wind on online applications. Reach out to recruiters directly, express interest, ask to set up time for a phone call - you WILL stand out and will get at least a response if not a conversation most of the time. This is the red pill to getting a job. Once you have done this a few times then getting interviews becomes a walk in the park.

>clocked in to work
>managed to take my local team to Champions League knockouts for the first time in Football Manager today

Do you absolutely need a Linkedin for data related jobs? I am self taught on Power BI and SQL trying to get a data job with only credit analysis experience

There's a reason poor places are poor, there's nothing to do and they suck.

That can be a real problem if you're a child who's incapable of entertaining yourself without meme axe throwing bars and concerts

>>53994888
>You actually go to b...bars? With friends? And do things? Really? Concerts?
>Pathetic children
>Oh me? I'm a sophisticated man
>I don't do childish things like going to bars with friends
>A true man of culture like myself lives a solitary life

>>53994979
>go to church
>gym, garden, hiking
>be active in local community events
There's more to life than paying a $20 cover to get into basement shows to drink next to homeless people

I’ve been smoking too much weed while WFH again. Basically entirety of workday… it’s making me procrastinate the little work I need to accomplish and I need to get a grip. Love WFH and will never go back but the biggest obstacle is definitely yourself and your motivation. Been WFH for about 5 years now.

there is more to do in Grand Rapids Michigan than there is in NYC bud. You just seem like an uninteresting, boring person

>>53995168
Hunting, building things with friends, tackle football with friends, water skiing, snow skiing, snowmobiling, learning instruments and jamming with friends

Life truly sucks out here

I have a very comfy WFH job and my wife is also WFH. The issue is her company has difficulty keeping talented workers and puts stress onto her. She works many more hours than me and we make the same $. She begs to go part time or stop working so she can watch the kid ,but we would lose so much income. We're behind on retirement planning because of aggressively paying off student loans. Not sure what to do.
Finances are very comfy overall if she keeps working. It's not an awful situation, but she says her schedule is unsustainable.

forgive the urbanite, for he hath not know what a good life truly looks like

When you're 22-28, right out of college, then yea the big city is hard to beat:
>WHOA! Check out this (insert gimmick theme) bar!
>WHOA! This restaurant is a fusian between (insert two third world countries here)
>WHOA! This bar has (insert activity here), lets play!
>WHOA! A street festival celebrating (insert made up 3rd world holiday or social cause here), look at the live music and food trucks!
>WHOA! This boutique store is great! Check out the cool (insert items you can find on facebook marketplace for 80% less here) vintage stuff they sell!

When you get some more years under ya you quickly realize big cities have nothing to offer outside of bars, food, and degeneracy. That you see those once cool bars as the gimmicks they are with as much depth as a single coat of paint. Want to do anything that is a legitiamte hobby? Good luck. It's mostly for boring people to astroturf a personality onto themselves. If you are 26 and want to extend college years for a bit longer, have hookups, etc. then by all means - it can be a good time.

But if you think there is nothing to do outside of a city then you're just a boring individual yourself whose personality likely amounts to drinking, eating, and feigning interest at museum exhibits
