Goal is to end up in tech but am interviewing for a fortune 50 healthcare company for a data scientist role. Struck out on other interviews.

Would it be worth it to jump to this if I want to break into data science or should I stick it out in D&A consulting which really isn’t data science?

It’ll be a good learning opportunity!
I will say - healthcare coverage/health benefits at big health companies tend to be worse, so if that’s important to you, let that be a factor

That's so ironic

What is your educational background? It will be very difficult to break into DS without your MS unless you have an incredibly robust portfolio/GitHub of personal projects.

A lot of entry level DS roles require a master’s. If this role doesn’t, make sure you’re asking questions to ensure it’s truly a DS they’re looking for and not a data analyst. Similar in context, very different in function.

It might be a strong opportunity for growth, and you might also get access to data that only big companies will pay for, where knowing certain data inside out will help you in the future (so there might be an avenue for you in health tech down the line). But it's important to know the scope of the role and projects that you'll work on so you know if you'll have 2-3 key accomplishments to demonstrate when you interview

What company? Some variability in quality of data science groups across the large healthcare players.
