Are there firms that you’d consider “top tier” as far as data science roles go, much like MBB in strategy consulting, BB in banking, etc.?

A few other thoughts routing and scheduling problems are tough so places like FedEx, ups, amzn, wmt likely have great operations research folks. Oil & gas folks are running simulations on super computers. I've talked to folks in life sciences building very interesting models to simulate the spread of alzheimers through the brain.

I’d argue that the problems we work on typically as consultants are boring and often trivial

Netflix wasn’t mentioned above, their science and algos team is top-notch.

Consulting isn’t conducive to data science given coat and time constraints. BCG’a reputation is up there, but they fall well short of the mark set by tech.

Tech firms

Like Google, Fb, etc.? As a data scientist, they’re the “holy grail” of companies to work for?

Yes. Top data science talent flock to tech companies for top dollar. Think about this: most tech companies have their own core data science teams with phDs, why would they outsource interesting data science projects to consultants?

Google, amazon, Facebook and Microsoft have the best reputations.....however many of the best developers/quants/d.s. are working on their own stuff

Are data science roles at funds such as Two Sigma/Citadel even more top tier than FAANG?

Check out prop shops and Palintir as well! Heard the talent they take are the best out of FAANG

I don't know how these companies compare to consulting firms but places like civis, tango, and alluvium look really interesting.

HF/prop shops are a different ball game. They've been at this stuff for a long time but the models aren't always that complicated as execution speed can be a large priority. I haven't followed trading tech for a while though.

Agreed, I don’t think FAANG uses consultants for the real hardcore stuff. For one, they don’t want to share their strategies and solutions - which is what would most likely happen. Also, business model of big4 is to throw senior associates at problems, not experienced msc/phds.

I’m an SD II and my manager just put in his two weeks notice. My director ( my managers boss ) asked if I was interested in interviewing for the manager position. It would be like skipping a level / double promotion. It seems like a huge opportunity, but it would mean no more coding, and I’m not sure I ever really want to stop coding.

I’m leaning towards declining, but there’s a part of me that feels like I’m making a huge mistake. I’d love any feedback

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....
