Are they paying a lot?

Is the expected TC of a data scientist compensation better than that of a senior consultant?

like

Technical positions tend to pay more than nontechnical positions at individual contributor (IC) levels, but this reverses further down the line. Consultant career trajectory is ultimately managerial (M), where as technical career trajectory is often terminal at principal IC levels. High ranking M positions out-earn high ranking IC ones most of the time, but the IC ones are more attainable.

The conversion in industry from IC to M is usually one or two down-levels (Sr IC -> manager, staff IC -> director, etc; depends on company). M technical positions will generally out-earn M non-technical positions, though things can shuffle at high levels, especially with execs from sales and finance.

Congrats, and good luck!

People are dming asking how I managed to get the interviews. I dont want to comment too much until I actually get an offer.

Idk what happened but a few months ago, I had 0 traction and suddenly, I have had at least 3+ interviews for data science this month (and more for other analytics roles in big tech companies). I guess YOE (have 2 only atm), relevant projects, and domain expertise (probably the main thing that helped) helps a lot. No referrals for these interviews too so I have been lucky.

We will see if I actually get an offer now though... fingers crossed

That's your perseverance paying off, sticking to it through September :) September and January are known corporate hiring sprees. A ton of people go on vacation at once, so there's crunch time pretty much everwhere right after.

Not saying you have to wait until January if these don't pan out though. Networking's a lot more reliable as a way to land interviews than applying into the ether is, should try that. Of course it helps to be networking way in advance if you wanna be genuine in your outreach... So I guess January's a good coincidental target for leveraging that network anyway.

Also, SEO your LinkedIn. Friend went from 1-2 recruiters a week to multiple daily, and that's without any prestigious names on their resume.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.
