Between the SoCal Kaiser nurses, Midwest Deere welders, and national Kellogg packers, it seems we’re at an inflection point of labor power in America.

- vote Should I transfer internally to SWE from data science or look outside? I’m a data scientist working on my transition to become a software engineer — prob with a bias towards backend. In my current company, I have internal support to transition into the SWE team. The concern is that it’s subject to politics/delays since my manager wants to keep me on the data team. I h
- Best Online Masters Programs for non-STEM backgrounds? I’m toying with the idea of getting a masters, if I do I’d want to go online so I can work full time, have a better chance of getting into a better program and spend less overall.
