Hi fishes,
is it possible for me to go back from business analytics to software engineering or majorly data science if I may say. I earlier was working on data science projects but currently am working as a business analyst here.
What do you think? How should I pursue? Is it like continue this side or go back. As I’m currently working in a bank.

Please help.

You should first find answers for the following :
1. How is your current work different than data science work? And do you want to work on those things specifically
2. Is it because of payscale? I'm unsure about paygrades in your org but on my experience those are not significantly different.
3. Typically, and not a mandatory rule, BA works close to business and drives consumption in the process where DS is more of technical role..what do you enjoy the most?

I have been earlier enjoying the technical role as it was a bit more challenging. The pay-scale as i also agree is similar. In the current role, it’s more inclined to business and less to technical side of it. It’s not that exciting as the earlier things were, on which I was working.
Rest idk, suggest me something for long run.

Try to work in good domains like retail, e-commerce etc, as a business analyst..
You can keep polishing your statistics & even apply data science knowledge in present work too..

However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?

Hello Fishes,
This is the first time I am switching, so I thought it would be great to get some opinions on it.

Currently have a offer from Mercer for a Senior BA, which is giving approx 20% increment on my fixed. Below is the offer details.
Kindly let me know you opinions on the offer, if this is at par with the compensation from other companies for similar profiles.
