I will decided that when I get it!

I’m out soon

A2- same here. Mental and physical health are on the floor rn

1 month

I hadn't really decided officially, I guess it will depend on when I can get a job that will help me get out of this industry while not sacrificing my income. But quality of life is pretty bad in this industry so sometimes I wonder if a small pay cut would be worth more peace of mind. Maybe 2 years more for me

I just started in April. My goal is to stick it out at least until 2026. I ultimately look forward to what doors this will open for me to strike a good balance between hours and pay. It’s time to move on with our lives!

3-5 years. But that could change depending on future opportunities.

Can i leave yesterday

It's always until the next bonus

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
