I completed my Master's in December 2023 and have been actively seeking a job in the Data Science field since then. Unfortunately, I haven't received any interview calls and mostly getting rejection. I have a resume gap due to moving to the USA and facing visa restrictions that prevented me from working. I had 5 years of professional experience in the same field, and I pursued my Masters to strengthen my resume. Now I have permanent residency but still not getting any calls. What to do?

I used to have the same challenges. Applying for jobs, getting interviews then getting rejected. I started following this career coach online Madeline Mann my career prospects got better. Sometimes you just need someone to educate you. She also helps people transition careers and helps explain resume gaps.

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
