Everyone tells me I don’t have a strong enough stats/data science muscle. So i apply to strategy jobs where they tell me I’m too technical. So i apply to tech jobs where they tell me i don’t have saas experience but I’ve got analytical skills.

I am just fucking useless i guess

I agree that class experience is not enough, but I think you can get what you need. Do your own projects and put them on GitHub, or find an internal project, or find a way to use what you're learning on your project, or join a Meetup/other group which does pro bono technical work. You can totally get there.

The rate was really good - more than the fintech company was offering as annual salary. Rate was 160/HR and fintech was 275K TC. The benefits are ok - it’s a W2 contractor. But I’m thinking of...
