How many folks here have gone from data science into ML? And how many folks here have gone from data science into product management, or want to? Would love to hear some views here about career paths for data science people.

I've considered product management just because I like the idea of being closer to business decisions, but currently, I'm strictly a data scientist. As far as career paths, I started as a marketing analyst, moved up to a data analyst and this year was give the DS title.

I switched from data science into product. I’ve really enjoyed the switch and believe that my background has really helped.

We’ve had a couple data science folks move into Product PM roles, and they’ve been successful having the ability to use data really effectively as a product manager.

From data Science to product management. So far, I am enjoying my job. It really depends on the interest of the person.

What was your interest in it? What do you like more about being a PM vs DS?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title.
