Wait, did you mean consulting is the other side or banking is the other side? I think both are equally good/bad depending on what parameters you use to measure, and what roles/experience/responsibility you had in both situations..I think people are much better in consulting firms. The social aspect is unbeatable and.. intellectual creativity is often more rewarded (this depends from firm to firm)..In my current role, I make more money and have generally my weekends off (or less heavier than earlier)

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?
