Anyone else exit to industry as a data scientist only to realize the new company has no idea what DS is, no infrastructure, no use cases and just expects you to magically add value?

I don’t have enough knowledge to build a practice, but yes I’m being compensated well. Just worried for when someone realizes I’m not actually doing data science and don’t deserve this pay... trying to add value by writing programs to automate a lot of ETL, but nobody has asked me analyze anything.

The closest I’ve gotten is- C suite asked my director if I could write a machine learning algorithm that would identify who should get paid what and allocate company funds accordingly

Yeah well at least when I was at EY I didn’t expect the clients to actually have any idea what to do, and I didn’t feel personally tied to them successfully implementing anything
