Sales/Marketing Analyst vs Financial Analyst

Hey everyone,

I have an entry level customer service finance job I’ve been in where I’m training to get my series 7. I have an interview for a sales and marketing analyst position, but I’m skeptical.

I have a marketing background but I don’t feel confident in the marketing analytics space. Basically, I feel like I have more opportunity pivoting into finance. The role I have now pays 50k a year but if I get an offer with this company I’ll be at 65k actually working in analytics.

I guess I’m asking what the best path is. I feel discouraged as I see analysis is being automated and teams are getting laid off. Especially since marketing is the first area they opt in to layoff first.

My old math professor is off for vacation otherwise I’d ask her expertise but I just need to hear recommendations from others.

Best courses/certs/recs for getting into fixed income

I have an interest in working in fixed income analysis. For reference I have a business degree with a minor in analytics and analytical work experience but not in the finance space. (I am new to the finance industry so I want to learn others insights)
What are some good to haves on my resume if I want to get into this space? Or is it pure networking?

Thank you!

Good Job Fields for Black Women

Does anyone know what are some good fields for black women with lower barriers.

I have a background in analytics and my job search has been incredibly frustrating, tech is an industry I’m just ready to walk away from.

I want stability in my life and decent pay, I’m willing to get a whole new degree if that’s what it means.

Also I’m not really open to nursing, so anything but this.

Thank you!

The amount of willpower I have to not take out my feminine rage onto others

That’s all I have to say. My rage is horrible this week, no idea why. All I can say, is I’m proud of myself for my emotional regulation.
Currently on BC, this is my second month of a suppressed period, I’m supposed to be out of luteal by my original period schedule but it feels like PMS 2.0 right now. Don’t know what’s going on 😭…

My reflex to people crying to me is to smile/urge to laugh

Hey yall,

I guess this topic has more to do with the subject of ADHD than it does PMDD. I’m not sure if anyone resonates with this, has insight, or just understands.

Since I was a kid, if I was in front of someone crying I instantly feel uncomfortable and my body just wants to smile/laugh but it is not within my conscious. In my conscious, I wonder why this person is upset, I feel uncomfortable from the anxiety I feel I won’t be able to comfort them. I don’t actually end up smiling/laughing cause I usually stop my body from doing it. But I don’t know why this is my first reaction.

I am someone who is not void of emotions, nor do I find it entertaining when I see people cry. Only when people cry personally to me/interacting with me while crying does my body unconsciously resorts to this. I’m a very sensitive and emotional person, I cry easily when I see others in pain (for example I cried during one love island episode when I saw Mel crying I felt so bad, I’ve even cried about my deceased grandmother I’ve never met after hearing some of the sad things she had to go through).

But, when people cry in front of me, to me… I feel uncomfortable and unnaturally my body wants to resort to smiling… I don’t know why. I’m assuming this is neurodivergence?

moisturizing skin care mask, hear me out 😭

Ok yall hear me out! This economy has gotten rough so I’ve been experimenting with DIY masks.
Essentially I started by lathering my feet with urea and wrapping it in Saran Wrap, putting a sock over it and then taking it off 30 minutes later. This has worked wonderfully.

Now I decided to experiment 😭💀, I put urea on my butt and wrapped Saran Wrap around my body, and then I laid down for 30 minutes and yall my jaw hit the floor cause the skin is so soft 😭.. I know butt masks exist but I don’t have all this money to be buying those, especially cause I would want multiple masks to do weekly.

Horrible Production Lighting in Iconic By Mistake MV

I’ve seen some photos floating around of Lara in this MV. For me, I honestly feel like the lighting in this MV was god awful. I know there’s a lot wrong with the MV but this struck me the most first.

Idk what lighting source or sources (also edit I saw a post two days go about color grading so that looks to be the biggest problem in this MV)… they used but the amount of cast shadow was not giving the aesthetic they were looking for, if it was even intentional. So on brown/darker skin the casted shadows from lack of lighting made really bad contrast, it just goes to show they really don’t give a fuck. Can’t even look back and realize this was not very inclusive of darker skin tones.

Does anyone have insight of getting marked as non rehireable

Does anyone have any insight of this process.

Is this typically only for employees that were terminated?

Could EM rating or something like attendance (without DC of course) cause an employee to get marked with this after they put their two weeks?

Tips for Blow Out Natural w Type 4 hair / length rentention

Hey! Does anyone have any good style tips for Type 4 blow dry naturals.

I have 4a/4b hair and since being a blow dry natural my hair has looked fuller, less breakage and easy to manage/style day to day.

Right now I blow dry and try to maintain for 2 weeks. By end of week 1 I’ll start putting gel, and a little bit of water do slick backs and let my hair slowly revert. It still will have a good amount of stretch and I can do cute high puffs or slick backs.

I’m getting a little burnt out though and worrying that having my hair out so much will lead to damage since I’m not throwing it into braids or twists. Has anyone had success in length retention without having to put it into braids or twists. I’m at armpit length hair and I’m not a huge fan of how twists look on me and I can’t just throw my hair in two braids since it’s not really long enough for that.

DAE have a lot of team members with chronic migraines / neuro issues

A lot of members at my store have chronic migraines, some with aura some without. My chronic issue developed since working.

My neurologist warned me that I work in a loud, bright and overly stimulating environment. I take a lot of medicine to get through the day but after learning a lot of my current coworkers also suffer with migraines I feel like something should change. Having our heads buried in screens, bright overhead lights, loud music etc isn’t good long term. I know there’s only so much they can do to change this but if so many workers are experiencing this I feel like there should be some change.

Looking for career advice in compliance/risk industry

I’m looking for insight on the compliance analyst/compliance risk analyst role, for anyone who has worked or works in this scope of the business.

I have a bachelors degree, I’m going to be getting my series 7 license and I plan on doing 10 hours of videos for the NSCP to get the 40 credits for CSCP or CAMS license.

Essentially I’m looking for job security and a career pivot. This job market has been incredibly rough for me and this path from the sounds of it doesn’t seem to be over saturated. I also have a lot of experience working with excel, sql and data visualization so I think it would be a good fit for me.

Does anyone know what the best path into this field looks like and what your experience was? Thank you! (:
