Hey, yes it's totally possible to switch careers /domain and get into data science. Data science is purely skill based role. You have the skills that's enough to land a role. Regarding salary you can expect anywhere around 9 lpa lowest to industry standards highest (which I don't know). First part i can help you (DM me). Second part, wait for other fishes to shed some light on salaries.

So…..my director has been in the position for a little over a year. We’ve been working our tails off and last quarter were informed of no bonuses.

Someone asked if that includes a dinner and they said no. The optics is just so bad. Any advice? Really rethinking my current situation and need to reevaluate.
