Hello, I’m interested in the intersection of data science and business. In your opinion, would you recommend MBB/Big Four or going down a Tech route? Are there any firms you would recommend or avoid in either silo?

Data science intersect business is vastly broad. You could essentially go anywhere and have this attained in your job. Commercial, consulting, product manager (not project, distinction here), etc. Do you have a more discreet understanding of your end career goals?

I like hypothesis driven work leading to tangible results. I’m currently working a tech consulting internship which is interesting, but I wish it was a more data driven project. I’m happy to go either big tech or consulting. I just love working with a team to solve valuable problems while not sacrificing my WLB.

I would personally go commercial or consulting...I think consulting could be pretty fun if you're interested in showing people how best to use data. If you actually want to apply the knowledge, then would say commercial is better

I’m a DS, it’s been super fun so far. There’s model building and the usual DS work at the junior levels, and more strategic work around building things on the client side. It’s a consulting track role with a path to partnership.

Cool, I’m currently doing a tech consulting internship at a Big Four firm. Are you in the Gamma group? I’ve been thinking about applying there!
