[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What degree(s) do you have? From? How old are you + what experience to you have? Do you golf and/or play tennis? Volunteer work?[/quote]

BS in communications and an MBA, neither from particularly impressive schools.  Thirties.  Background in wellness and healthcare, with an IT focus.  Love golf.[/quote]

Wellness and healthcare? I’m not sure what “wellness” means but it sounds like you were in some MLM thing or maybe a life coach when you write it like that. IT focus is not meaningful. I spoke to someone the other day who told me he was “practically in tech” because he edits old SQL queries to pull data from a database and the fact that he thinks that’s “tech” is proof that he has no understanding of the field. You need to be specific.[/quote]

This is OP: wellness refers to the non-profit I founded (we brought yoga to underserved communities, specifically active military members, their families, and veterans).  Also worked at a medical cannabis start-up.  Am now employed by a very large healthcare system.

I am a data analyst/translator and develop executive-level dashboards in Tableau.  I am bored and think I could be doing a lot more and am at the maintenance phase of my job: I built out the data infrastructure for the small but very visible department I support, but there’s really no more to do on that front.

If I want a safe/stable job that doesn’t require much out of me, I can stay where I am, but I am interested in implementing my skills - particularly my people skills - much more than I am now.  I feel like a fish out of water currently (in my org’s IT department).[/quote]
