Feeling more and more pessimistic about working in advertising, specifically about making money for morally bankrupt companies, but I do love that salary…where do people go after advertising? I want to make a change but I have no idea where to start. Appreciate the help <3

Advertising is dying. Positive relationships, good communication, and truthful experiential will be the new 'advertising.' Find your people/businesses who you relate to and share common goals with. You'd be surprised how much your talents are needed (and will fit) elsewhere.

Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.

Hi how much in hand for 15LPA. 1.5lac is variable.

Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB
Optum: 21L Fixed + 1.5L JB
