Hi all. Got 1 YOE at EYP doing mostly CDDs and strategy work. Prior to that came from uni with a MSc in mathematics, studied AI/ML as well. Is it too late for me to pivot to data scientist role or similar? Thinking about not been “in the game” for a year and perhaps not as attractive on the market as a recent graduate

It’s definitely not too late. I would say the earlier you try and make the switch the better but make sure you are past the 1 year mark.

Makes sense. Thanks a lot. Initially thought to wait for senior, but makes sense not to lose too much technical knowledge

Not the same situation but similar-ish background. At 1 YOE, you should be absolutely fine.

My recommendation would be to add a side project or two under your belt before jumping into recruiting (if you decide to pivot).

You can also spin your strategy experience as something that can help distinguish you from other DS candidates (Can see the bigger picture, strong communicator, srakeholder mgmt, etc.)

Thanks for the advice. I have been thinking about staying for another year and try to get senior, but unsure how well I can leverage that to a new role, I guess I will be “starting over” either way. And for my personal well being I think I need to try and get out sooner than later, unfortunately

Sounds like an interesting background for sure. You’re talking about data sci roles specifically or roles at ai companies

Generally I would like to move away from the consulting industry to somewhere I can use my educational experience, so no requirements on AI companies per se, it could be a data scientist role at Walmart as good as any, if you catch my point.

You really don’t have as much knowledge as you’d think at 1YOE. I mean you could even leave off your current job off your resume and still enter DS

Umm.. yeah, but don’t do that though lol. Follow K1s advice and add some side projects related to data science even if it’s not billable. Just get it on your resume.

Also at EYP and looking to pivot into data analyst and data science roles but sucks that over the last 1.5 years I’ve had very little technical and data centric experience

That’s the same situation. I contemplated waiting for Senior before exiting but I think that might be a negative and will lose too much technical knowledge. I hope a year or so can be seen as “passable” time

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
