Curious that under DS/AI/Analytics domain, what are some of the roles that are client facing but also you get to utilize your ML knowledge and analytics skills a lot? I would like a data scientist role but I don’t think I have that brain or passion to be a hard core engineer that only do the backend stuff. I’d still like to talk to client, meet more people on my day to day role.

Realistically, very few consultants sell anything that requires with actual statistics knowledge. What you will come to find is that statistics/ML analysis is super easy and so well documented literally anyone with an IQ over 100 could apply them. The REALLY hard part is getting clients data into a state where these analyses can actually mean something. 99.9% of the time, clients data storage is in such disarray the projects devolve into helping them with data management and governance lol.

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas? How long does it usually take to get work visa and how easy/tough is it to get a job there considering I have 6+ years of experience in the field?

I interviewed at Amazon for a PM role in Dec. 2020 and was ultimely rejected. I was told I have to wait a year to reapply. Fast forward to June 2022, another recruiter reaches out to me re: a PM role. I pass the screening interview, and move on to the virtual on site interview stage. I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange
