Hey everyone,

Just started a data science role in a local company but its reporting only and not any analysis. Not sure if that's common or if something is off.

It's not the position I had applied for and now scared I'll waste a year without getting necessary skills.

This has happened to me in the past. It can be super frustrating.
Either companies not really knowing what to do with a data scientist or not having enough data maturity to be able to benefit from ML.

One thing you can do here is be a bit more proactive in finding ML use cases, and building your own work in a way. This obviously depends on whether your manager is up for supporting you moving in the direction, or if they are keen to keep you on reporting only.

The benefit of this approach is you can end up getting some ML credentials under your belt before you start looking for a new role

Sorry im still new to this, it wasn't the position I had applied to. It's a weird situation.

Find something to automate or predict as part of the reporting process. Find a need, fill a need

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
