Another week, another sad round of layoffs

Hey Data Geek. Today’s topic? Invest in yourself. It will pay off long term.

Just read what Zach Wilson wrote here:

There are 3 main things to understand here:

  • You are just a number for many companies out there, my friend. So: don’t take this personally. Yes, I know: this sucks; but you will be OK, especially if you have built a good network

  • Like Dominick Namis always shared here: always have your resume ready. Yes, you read right

  • Perhaps this is a sign to take the “self-employee/external consultant” route and build your own Data Analytics consulting business. Believe me: this path is more challenging but more rewarding in the long term

Suck it up my friend, and attack right now. This is not a time to be static or stuck in your career: level up your skills now, and collect the rewards on the long term.

It’s time.
