I received a Senior Game Developer position at Globant Game Studios and just wanted to know if anyone has any idea about this department. I received Bangalore as the base Location and they told me Pune is having all the team, in future will they ask me to join in Pune? Which I don't want to.

HI folks,
My current CTC is very low with respect to my YOE. CTC : 5.2 lpa
YoE : 4
Tech stack : Python , MLops
But now my manager has initiated H1B visa for me and the visa process is in progress.
Is it worth to wait till the H1B process completes to work in U.S (74k package) (or) should i make a switch immediately. ?

if you want to be a data scientist, don't go into consulting frankly or get out after a couple years. a lot of the best talent is in tech
Best way to grow as a data scientist is to pick up some relevant skills in the 1-3 years you're in the firm and jump ship from consulting. You won't develop fast enough or be compensated enough for Data Science skills in consulting.
Does D, or any of these firms, actually do data science though? Or is it just configuring existing solutions to that specific need?
True Data science is really more of a research role, the title has sort of been bastardized and expanded to anyone that uses some kind of model to do semi-complicated analysis.
I remember seeing an article recently that said that pwc hired 13,000 data scientist last year, I can tell you for certain that we probably don't have more than 13 true data scientists... more like "data engineers"
We do a lot of cutting edge data science! If you are interested in being a tech/data science specialized consultant, salary and progression is the same as in strategy (i.e. total comp>$100k out of undergrad). We also have data science specialists (not client facing).
Airbnb Netflix amazon. Silicon Valley is where it's at. But seriously go to an industry where data drives decisions directly rather than through managers...
Interns 😍 keep em coming interns, tons of amusing posts from you guys this summer
Booz Allen is committing to hiring and training 5000 data scientists in the next 5 years. We're going all in to Data Science. Kinda crazy
Would second PwC2's comment. Consulting applies tried and true methods, we don't typically have anything all that "cutting edge" for specialties like data science. Hitup Google, amazon, and the likes for that
Think D is a good starting point for Data Science in terms of learning fundamentals and how to function in a structured, corporate world. It's also a good resume builder if you can't get into a tech firm right away. Chances are, unless you're brilliant, you're not getting Google without some prior work experience under your belt
