I think that depends - if you're planning on staying in the same industry, you should be ok to start considering mid-level and senior roles. If you're switching out, you may still be able to land a mid-level role as a data scientist if you can demonstrate tech ability + willingness to learn and improve

Learning on the job is always preferable, imo, but you can also try your hand at an online course to see how confident you feel about your skills.

It's perfectly fine to learn on the job but personally I like to take a course beforehand or something so I feel confident

Agree. There's so many available now and they aren't too costly. If nothing more it does boost your confidence.

I accepted a 95k systems engineer role in VA with KBR and is currently going thru a clearance.(MAY START DATE)
Northrop offers me 92k w/ 3k sign on which is 30 min from home in MD for an associate systems role. They also want to give me a clearance but it will start as an interim so I can work sooner than may. MY DILEMMA: Kbr states that they know I need money now so I can accept an offer with Northrop to see if I like it until may.BUT can I have 2 security clearances running at the same time?

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
