Hello everyone! I recently joined AEA to network and improve my prospects for a career in Economics. Currently, I am working on an M.S. in Applied Economics, but working in retail. I am looking for a job that can bridge the gap between retail and consulting or research. In the mean time, I will be working on certifications and projects in Tableau and Python. My questions are as follows: 1.) What additional skills would you recommend acquiring and what would be the best resource for it? 2.) What type of events would you recommend attending for networking for jobs? Thank you.
